Photography, food, & life

As a photographer with a background in design, my pictures are graphic with a strong emphasis on composition, color, movement, light, and form. Each photo I take is done with intent, capturing the honest-to-goodness essence of your personality, brand, and/or style.

Food, people, and place are a joy for me to photograph because they all have an inherent beauty and a story to tell. I capture what is already happening in each moment, moving with the situation as it unfolds. However, I also do styling to get the most out of particular frames, ensuring a gorgeous image of you or your food each time. Through focusing on the innate freshness and vibrancy of the subject, I style all my shots using real ingredients and natural light. The personality of the food or subject, and the energy it exudes, influences how I choose my subjects and make my photographs.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Urban Design from the University of Cincinnati’s school of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning (D.A.A.P.) and a Master in Fine Art and Design from the Pacific Northwest College of Art. My work has been featured in the New York Times, In Style Magazine, Where Women Cook, and The Oregonian, among others. My client list includes (but isn’t limited to) Food 52, Whole Foods Market, plainMADE, Taste Matters, The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP), and The Portland Culinary Alliance.
