A little bit about me..


From the start, my life has always been unique to say the least. Growing up between the PNW and Germany, I split my time between both until I was 22. My German dad and American mom met at a bar in Singapore, did long distance for a while, and divorced once I was born (wild I know). Honestly, that set the tone for my entire life.


My journey with a camera started at 15, wanting a connection with my dad. Him and my mom went in on a Nikon for Christmas, and every summer when I'd visit him we'd lock in a side quest (the zoo, a small German city, wherever) and see who could capture the most authentic moments. It became our thing.


College came and I traded the Nikon for an iPhone and the 2013 filter aesthetic (iykyk). The creativity never left, it just lived in iPhone. Then in 2025 I became a full-time digital nomad, got an itch for something more, and through a now-ex (thank you, genuinely, if you're reading this) I picked up a Fujifilm X100VI and my life forever changed.


Whether I'm behind or in front of the camera, I'm drawn to the same thing: authentic moments between people and places, and everything in between. I want to capture you in your essence, exactly as you're supposed to be.


Off camera I'm planning my next concert or next destination, probably listening to Bad Bunny, and definitely talking about how much I miss Taco Bell if I am not in the states. A lover of people, culture, and connection - if I can be a light in someone's life in one way or another, that's enough for me.
