I’m a portrait and documentary photographer versed with both modern digital and traditional analogue processes. My photographs explore identity, place, creativity and connection. Infinitely curious, I’m intrigued by the relationships between people, communities, and the natural world. I approach subjects with empathy and integrity. I believe strong photographs, individually and in series, hold great potential for personal or community empowerment, healing, promotion and transformation. I’ve been documenting communities in the American West with a focus in rural Western Lane County, traditional homeland of the Siuslaw people, for the past twelve years. My work has been published, featured in galleries and is included in private and public collections. I am determined, with every fiber of my being, to create quality work that empowers the communities and clients I serve. I’m also available for portraits, editorial work, exhibition, mentoring, collaborations and commissions. I love to work with individuals, businesses and non-profit organizations here in Lane County and beyond.
