Born and raised in Florida, shaped by years living and learning in Los Angeles, and ultimately grounded by a deep love for Montana, my work exists at the intersection of movement, story, and human connection. As my acting career has taken me across the country and overseas, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with creatives from all walks of life, many of whom have stepped in front of my lens along the way.
Over the past 18 years exploring photography, I set out to discover the “science” behind a great photo or headshot, only to realize there isn’t one. Some of the strongest portraits have been created in doorways, inside my hatchback, using draped fabric as backdrops or a windshield cover as a light reflector. I’m not traditionally trained, so I don’t work traditionally. Instead, my work was built on the road rather than in a formal studio and shaped by real people, real environments, and authentic moments. I approach headshots as portraiture first, focusing less on type or branding and more on presence.
The goal is simple: to capture something real, something human, and something unmistakably yours.
Outside of portraiture and acting, I work as an Assistant Zoologist and Fitness Trainer. I’m often traveling for work with my husband and our wolf pup, Maverick, and I’m a lifelong, die-hard Lord of the Rings fan.
