Hello
Thank you for visiting. I am a Tucson-based photographer who cherishes building a relationship with each of my clients. I am committed to documenting the story of your business, community and family in a way that is thorough, authentic, respectful and fun. You will find me hard-working, adaptable to your changing event needs, trustworthy, reliable and discreet.
In addition to providing single and multi-day event coverage, I do portraiture, personal projects and ongoing assignments. My clients include individuals, families, small businesses, non-profit organizations and corporations. My documentary style is influenced from my previous professional social work career which exposed me continuously to people from all walks of life, developed my sensitivity to the broad nature of human experience, and now allows me a unique doorway to establishing rapport with and understanding the needs of my clients.
A master who has had a direct impact on my style is Mary Ellen Mark, whom I had the distinct honor to study with in 2015 shortly before she died. Many other photographers inspire me including but not limited to Pete Souza, Kate Breakey, Ibarionex Perello, Vivian Maier, Dorothea Lange, Agnes Varda, Sebastiao Salgado, Danny Lyons. Over the years, I have had the good fortune to be a workshop assistant for Mary Virginia Swanson’s Master Class.
My work has been published in dozens of online and print media including: Washington Post, BBC, USA Today, Zeke Magazine, Zocalo Magazine, Orphan Wisdom, The Art of Dying, We Are All America, Living Streets Alliance, Southwest Folk Alliance, Science News, and Visit Tucson. I am happy to share my detailed resume and testimonials with you. I am the current Media Circle Director for the Tucson All Souls Procession.
Since March 2020, I have been working on a long term, self-funded photo essay series entitled Voices of Race with the intention to amplify the perspectives of all people (particularly marginalized communities) and to be a call to action for all people (particularly white communities) to be social change agents. Social justice in all of its forms is important to me and I am continuously educating myself on the issues of the day. Please reach out if you would like to participate or sponsor this effort.
On a personal note, I am the mother of an amazing son who is a professional 2D animator. I love all forms of exercise including hiking, cross-fit, dance, rollerblading, and yoga. After a 10 year hiatus, in 2024, I am re-birthing my custom fragrance business. I am also learning the art of hand- colorizing photographs. Ask me for more information if interested.
