a little bit about me

I fell in love with photography as a teen—it started as a full-time hobby and quickly grew into something so much more. What began as a creative outlet soon became a way to connect, serve, and bless others with the memories I could help them preserve.
Photography runs deep in my roots. My Opa on my dad’s side and my great-grandad on my mom’s were both drawn to the art of capturing life through a lens. Family visits often meant flipping through photo albums, telling stories, and reliving beautiful moments from the past—and those memories are part of what inspired me to start capturing them for others, too.

I’ve always been a hopeless romantic with a wild imagination, and when I couldn’t find the kind of love stories I craved in books, I started dreaming up my own. As a teen, I even wrote an entire high-fantasy novel (glossary and all!!), which is still waiting for its time to shine. While that story’s still tucked away in edits, I’ve found a new way to bring magic to life—through photography. Capturing love, connection, and those fleeting, fairytale-feeling moments with my camera is honestly the dream come true I didn’t know I was chasing.

Animals & Nature

Ever since I was young, I've had a passion for animals and nature. Being raised with outdoor activities like skiing, walking forest trails, and admiring wildlife around my hometown of Kelowna, BC, this genre of photography just became one of my favourite hobbies.
Whether it's bringing out my camera when my pets are doing something cute, taking it along on morning walks, or stuffing it in a bag when we visit the zoo, getting photographs like these always makes my heart flutter wildly!!

You love a good adventure but cherish the quiet, intimate in-betweens just as much.
