My practice began with film photography, drawn by its slowness and precision. Shooting with a limited number of frames teaches me to pause, to observe with intention, and to fall in love with detail. I hand-develop my color and black-and-white film, finding ritual in the process, watching light, chemistry, and time transform moments into permanence.

I create fine art portraiture because I believe there is nothing more moving than the quiet beauty of people as they are. My muses are my friends; their grace, vulnerability, and presence inspire me to honor them with care and truthfulness. Each portrait becomes an archive of connection.

I am, at heart, a romantic. I carry a journal with me always, scribbling down fragments of poetry, overheard conversations, and fleeting sensations. Writing, for me, is a form of devotion. I write to understand, to remember, to celebrate the joy and ache of being alive.

Though I studied psychology, it is the world itself that continues to be my greatest teacher. I travel not just to see new places, but to be changed by them. I dream of capturing the people, textures, and rhythms of every place that calls to me, through image, through word, through silence.
