About

I'm a careful observer, and lover of all things bold and colorful. I think this deeply informs my style of photography. I usually consider composition in the moment, but I often chose a crop later, as digital allows this decision making. I hope you’ve enjoyed some of these snaps if you’ve been one of my Flickr or Instagram followers over the years!

In my professional life, I’ve been in the home furnishings/furniture industry for over a decade. I'm on a constant quest to find things that make a space unique.  You're likely to find me in the aisles of antique stores, hanging out in a junk shop, standing in line at an estate sale, or visiting a beloved vintage store. Projects that involve helping people design and create environments that make them feel happy & comfortable are my specialty.

In my personal life, I’m often wandering. If it's a day with gorgeous light, I'm probably outside exploring alleyways & parks. Otherwise, I love to be at a museum or gallery, reading a book, or maybe watching an old film, especially on the big screen in a historic theater. I’m a frequenter of local coffee shops & bookstores and my life is truly enriched by them.

Friends are family and family are friends.

I am deeply aware of the need for justice & equality in this world and will stand with anyone who needs their voice heard.

Though my site, does not reflect direct action for social justice in my photos, that is solely because I am not a talented photojournalist…

If you need me on the ground to march with you or fight for you — I will show up.

HOPING for peace & unity in our futures.
