I tend to move through life in pieces — held in parallel, sometimes contradictory containers. Photography is where those pieces soften and speak to one another. It’s where things come into focus not by force, but by attention.

HOW THIS ALL BEGAN.

My voice emerged most fully through self-portraiture while documenting my last pregnancy. Photographing myself became an act of presence — a way of witnessing transformation as it unfolded, before language arrived.

That work reshaped how I understand my body, my life, and the act of being seen. Photography remains the place I return to make sense of what I’m living, without needing to explain it.

HOW I WORK.

My work lives between documentary and editorial. Some sessions are shaped by a loose concept — a question, a mood, a feeling that wants form. Others are entirely documentary, guided by whatever unfolds. Most exist somewhere in between.

I work exclusively with film not out of nostalgia, but necessity. Film asks for commitment. Trust. Patience. It resists correction. It keeps me — and the people I photograph — inside the magic of human presence just a little longer.

Proof.

Self-portraits made alone, on film, in bathroom stalls and solo car rides under the bright moonlight.

These are the artifacts of my existence. Proof that I am trying.
