I started learning photography in high school film photo class, and that was where I quickly learned that when I held a camera, all the anxieties I had seemed to melt away. I decided to start a little business, learning as I went by starting to shoot sessions and small weddings when I was 17. I have always learned by doing, and I find that I’m motivated mainly by wanting to be surrounded by love, and helping others remember how it felt. I was raised by the most sentimental parents ever, always reminding us to appreciate every little moment, and that’s become a huge part of who I am.

A few more little things about me:
- I moved from Whitby, Ontario to Halifax when I was 19, and I really deeply love the East Coast
- I have two brothers, I’m the eldest of the three. They both still live in Ontario and I missss them so much all the time
- I’m an English major! I love reading so ardently, I think being able to read deeply and critically is so important for a full, kind, meaningful life. I grew up reading Peter Pan, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and The Hunger Games over and over until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer, and now I often lean toward diasporic fiction, dystopias, gothics, Indigenous literature, and I really like to read critical theory, too.
- My boyfriend, Ross, is the sweetest, loveliest person ever and I will often bring him to shoots as an assistant - because lucky for me, he is so so talented!

Most importantly,
I want to connect with you. On your wedding day or portrait session, I don’t just see you as a client. I genuinely want to be your friend, because when I put my camera in front of you, I’m thinking about who you are, I’m thinking about your future self looking at the photo, I’m thinking about how nervous I would be if I were you, and I’m thinking about how valuable every second I have in front of you is.

I don’t walk away from sessions or weddings thinking that I just finished a job; I leave thinking about the connection we made, and the pieces of evidence that I get to hold in my hand that say that you lived, loved, laughed, had feelings, had experiences - felt happiness, sadness, fear, excitement. To me, a photo tells your story, and I come to photography with that in mind.

I’m based in Halifax, Nova Scotia but I’m always up for travel. Let me know if you’re planning something somewhere else!
