About me

I am a photographer currently located in the jungles of Costa Rica! I moved here in 2022 from Atlanta, Georgia where I specialized in food and editorial photography. I love to travel for my work and photography has taken me all over the world. I have been an artist all of my life, driven to art as a form of expressing something more deeply when words fall short. I love co-creating with photography, helping to bring people’s visions to life. That is such a rewarding part of the process for me.

In Atlanta, I was a regular contributor to the Atlanta Journal Constitution and my work has appeared in other publications such as Bon Appetite, Atlanta Magazine, Garden & Gun, The Local Palate, Southern Living, and more. I have worked with big clients such as Marriott and Coca-Cola. I photograph retreats, portraits, photos for businesses, and more. Please reach out for any questions you have!
