Capturing the world with a journalistic flare that you’d imagine in Conde Nast Traveler. From far-flung adventures to unique properties, I’m your Expert Traveler and your new favorite collaborator.

I’ve always been fascinated by people and places- the way a market stall in Morocco smells like cinnamon and dust, the way the light hits the Tennessee River at golden hour, the way a shared smile can bridge languages. My work blends a love of cultures, landscapes, and storytelling into images and words that capture more than just what something looks like. It captures how it feels.

As a travel writer and photographer, I document the beauty, humor, and humanity I find in every corner of the globe- from boutique hotels to fishing boats at sunrise. I’m an intense listener, endlessly curious, and always ready to meet someone new. I love stepping onto the backroads of a foreign town, stumbling through a conversation with a non-English speaker, and learning what makes a place truly itself.

I graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Photojournalism, where my professors taught me the art of candid storytelling- to look beyond the posed moment and find the truth in between. Those lessons have guided my work ever since, shaping a style that’s genuine, natural, and deeply connected.

In 2013, my husband and I quit our jobs, packed our lives into a storage unit, and set off on a year-long honeymoon around the world. It changed everything. We came home with fewer possessions but richer lives and committed to simplicity, connection, and finding the “joie de vivre.”

Since then, I’ve photographed and published assignments across the U.S. and abroad- from documenting rural life in Vietnam, to capturing the atmosphere of boutique hotels, to chasing the early-morning light across the Rockies, and even 10 years as a wedding photographer helping couples begin their own journeys together. My travels often include our twin boys, Cooper and Sawyer, who see the world with wide-eyed curiosity and remind me daily that exploration is a lifelong lesson.

These days, I call a little patch of land near Memphis, TN home. When I’m not on assignment, you’ll find me in the garden, fly fishing, or sitting on a boat dock. And most evenings, you’ll catch me on the back porch with a sun-downer in hand, the boys tucked in, and the day settling around us.

If you’re looking for a collaborator with a storyteller’s heart — someone who can bring a place, a project, or an experience to life with authenticity and curiosity — let’s connect. Whether it’s a travel feature, a property shoot, or a documentary photo project, I’d love to help tell your story.
