I surround myself with the people I love and the things I find interesting.

My first ever shoot was with my best friend, Pudgy the Pug. Pudgy passed away a couple months later and one silver lining remained: the timeless photos I took of him that I’ll treasure forever.

I’m inspired by my love for Quentin Tarantino films and all things weird.

My ultimate girl crush is Alabama Worley from True Romance.

The Notebook is a cute movie but I’ll cry ten times harder while watching Milo and Otis.

I prefer a weekend stay at a vintage trailer park in Bisbee over a cruise in the Caribbean.

Dave Ramsey’s plan for personal finance has changed my life and I’ll never touch another credit card as long as I live nor will I accept them for my services.

I decorated my son’s room in skateboards and Gary Baseman monsters.

I feel most beautiful when barefoot.

Being true to oneself and without limits is the only way any of us ought to live.

I photograph outdoor boudoir over indoors because I believe that’s the true place our beautiful and unique bodies should be seen, out in the world and never locked up in a room.
