I’m a photographer, prop/food stylist, and stop motion artist with over seven years of experience bringing creative visions to life. My journey began in Los Angeles, where I worked alongside a wide range of photographers, producers, food stylists, prop masters, and other creatives. Those early years on set sharpened my eye for detail and taught me how to craft visuals that feel intentional, playful, and full of story.

Since then I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with brands like Caraway Home, Habit Burger & Grill, Calpak, Studio Oh!, Orange Circle Studio, Scooter’s Coffee, La Terra Fina, Hiya Health, Nutiva, Coconut Secret, Playground, Golden Road Brewery, Drops Candies, Pike Restaurant & Bar, Endose Molds, Om Edibles, and Buddha Pants, among others.

After nearly a decade of living in Southern California, in 2025 I decided to return to my roots and move back to the familiar ridges and valleys of Central Pennsylvania. It has been exciting and heartwarming to reconnect with my home community, adapt my business, and build new relationships locally.

In addition to my commercial photography and prop/food styling services, I’m now offering local portrait sessions—everything from creative senior and family portraits to engagements, maternity, graduates, and event photography.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me somewhere out in the woods, hanging with my cat, listening to music, or spending time with friends.
