About the Photographer

I have a passion for many things in this life, from family to the outdoors, and love
exploring the world with my camera slung around my neck.

I am lucky to live in beautiful Portland, Oregon close to the mountains,
water and lush wilderness. I live with my husband, cat and cockatiels
that constantly keep me entertained and force me to keep a good
sense of humor.

My earliest experiences with photography began with my 110-point and
at six-years-old. Later, I graduated from the University of Montana
with a much more sophisticated camera and a bachelor’s degree
in photojournalism and have since worked with several
newspapers, magazines and niche publications. My work has
received awards from National Press Photographer’s
Association and Society of Professional Journalists.

I enjoy capturing the real moments of life through my
lens and celebrating the many challenges that
life often presents.

It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”
