Born and raised in New Hampshire, my journey in the arts began with music, studying jazz drumming in college. In 2009, I saw the New York Times project One in 8 Million — a multimedia series featuring audio-narrated photo essays that told intimate stories of everyday New Yorkers. I couldn’t believe how beautiful ordinary life could be portrayed in photos, and I became hooked on documentary photography. A few years later I landed a job as a staff photographer for the Vail Daily in Colorado. It was at the paper where I honed my ability to tell visual stories under real-world constraints.
In 2014, I moved to San Francisco and joined the city’s bustling freelance photography scene, struggling initially with the world of posed “lifestyle” photography, which felt unnatural to me. Over time, I found my niche in documentary family photography, an approach that aligns seamlessly with my photojournalistic roots. Today, I offer families an authentic, one-of-a-kind view of the lives they live.
