Got to photograph and shoot video for this NPR piece!
Got to photograph and shoot video for this NPR piece!
2025 was a weird year work wise, but personally? A win.π€Έπ½ββοΈ I stopped using IG & read 13 books. Bought a βdumbβ alarm clock and kicked my phone out of the bedroom. Stayed social IRL w/o an app. Fully entered my cooking era. Immersed myself in more art. And proved to myself I can still cartwheel.
A lil self-portrait after wrapping my last shoot of the year β a 12-person group portrait for an architecture firm.
Hours of set prep, lots of moving parts, and a proud moment: fitting 12 people into my studio β¨
Not quite the chanterelle haul I was hoping for (maybe a bit optimistic for this time of year in the Giffy), but the cauliflower mushroom was a nice score. π²πβπ«π²
An athletic woman wearing matching purple sports bra and leggings with running shoes stands in a studio with an orangey-red backdrop. A black slam ball is on the floor in front of her.
Sneak peek from a recent session with fitness instructor and model Jacquelyn Rodgers. Iβve been obsessed with this fiery color lately π₯

A fiery red leaf sticks out of a blanket of snow
Two fall leaves lying far apart on snow
A lone red leaf lays on top of fresh snow
An open backyard with snow covered trees and homes in the background
Didnβt realize my trip to Indiana came with a bonus round of winter π₯Ά
They lost their cred β everything after that was lame
Stuck at a small airport in the Midwest because of snow. The silver lining: theyβre playing My Bloody Valentine.
Neighborhood trees with vibrant fall foliage in shades of red, orange and a bit of yellow.
A blaze of color on this grey day π
Sneak peek - trying out some new moves (and angles!) with one of my fave collaborators
Hand holding two dahlias β one large pink, one smaller pink-white-yellow β in front of a green and blue abstract street mural.
Red cup of dahlias with a handwritten βFree flowers, help yourself. Leave containerβ sign, sitting in a metal holder by the curb with homes in the background.
A little spark of joy this afternoon β¨ β a sweet neighbor shared some dahlias from their garden.
Filmed this a while back, and it was originally scrapped for the article I shot it for. Neat to see it being used for a different piece now π² π

Trump announced that heβs directing federal troops to Portland. Portlanders look after each other, and thatβs how weβre going to overcome these threats.π§΅

Report suspected federal agent sightings to PIRCβs hotline (1-888-622-1510) instead of spreading rumors on social media.
Iβll have to find another ice cube tray π
βWar ravaged Portlandβ π€
A hand holding an orange silicon one-cube ice tray over a bottle of bourbon and a bar spoon.
This βold fashionedβ cocktail kit from Bulleit. π₯΄ Nothing says loneliness epidemic like a one-cube ice tray.
Thank you, heβs great to work with! πΈ
Local actor RaShad Arnold stopped by the studio recently for a portrait session. Always inspiring to photograph someone who brings so much character and presence to a shoot β¨

Girlsβ Lust for Life video popped up yesterday, and for a second I was right back in SF, living carefree when everything felt just a little lighter.
Living out my 20-something-year-old me dreams with Rilo Kiley in NYC tonight. I swore Iβd never go to a reunion showβ¦ but I donβt regret this one at all. π
A black Optimus Cassette Recorder
Been looking for a tape player and stumbled upon this recorder/player at yard sale this morning. Time to bust out those old mix tapes.

The fact that my images can be used to train Ai without my consent or compensation has been on my mind A LOT. If you're a creator of sorts, please consider contacting your representative and tell 'em βNoβ to Unlicensed AI Training.
