"Growing up under the spirited influences of an advertising creative director dad and a mom who worked in fashion before she became a poet meant learning about life from a visual perspective and being able to communicate in different ways. Our house was filled with inspiration. From stacks of fashion and literary magazines, to stories and visits from well known photographers and writers.
Later at RISD, I was challenged to think about the applications of creativity, discovering what drives me to create (content) and light, always the light.
Today, I channel many of those influences; whether I am collaborating with clients or creating work for myself, I strive to bring a perspective of beauty and nurturing to a world inundated with messaging and imagery.
Through my photographs, I aim to give back and demonstrate how beautiful imagery can equate to a sense of health and well-being. I am drawn to natural light and strive to use it in its authentic and transparent way. I’ve always believed that the best imagery reflects an iconic moment in time and culture."
