I document real people in real life — not poses, not perfection. The honest, fleeting moments that make your story worth keeping.

Based in Portland, Oregon, I've spent twelve years documenting the threads that hold people together — families, communities, quiet ordinary moments that turn extraordinary in a photograph.
My work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine and VSCO Journal, and exhibited at the Portland Art Museum. I shoot on film and digital, always chasing available light.
