I didn't set out to become a photographer—but looking back, it makes perfect sense.
I've always been a bit of a nerd with more interests than time to pursue them all. In school I was torn between art (the old-school pencil-and-paper kind), linguistics (after time as an Au Pair in Vienna), and science. I chose biology, where I fell in love with everything from the microscopic world to animals and their place in it.
My first camera was really just a hobby purchase—an excuse to try macro photography and capture the teeny tiny world of insects. (Fun fact: I was this close to pursuing a Ph.D. in entomology.)
After graduating, I began working in neurobiology research while also starting to travel more. My camera always came with me. I still loved photographing animals, but I found myself just as fascinated by new places, the people I met there, and the stories that connected them all.
My passion truly ignited when I became a mother. I suddenly had my own little muses in tow 24/7. As they explored the world around them with curiosity, I found myself slowing down and experiencing the magic of childhood again. Somewhere along the way I fell in love with storytelling.
Photography became like another language—a way to express how I experience the world and to continually explore and learn from it.
Today, my husband and I share our home with five kids, two Great Danes, and all the joyful chaos that comes with them. I wouldn't have it any other way, and I love telling those stories through my lens.

Professionally, I'm honored to serve as the official photographer for the Delaware House of Representatives, documenting legislative sessions, public events, and the people shaping our state's history. It's a reminder that storytelling isn't limited to families—it's everywhere people gather, work, celebrate, and build community.
Whether I'm documenting kids being kids, a couple exchanging vows, or a fleeting moment halfway around the world, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel genuine today and become even more meaningful with time.
If that sounds like the kind of photographs you're looking for, I'd love to hear—and help tell—your story.
