Working with me isn’t just about beautiful imagery — it’s about crafting a visual story that reflects your brand’s values and elevates your work. As a commercial and interior photographer specializing in editorial lifestyle photography, I partner with designers, boutique hospitality brands, and thoughtful founders to create imagery that feels warm, intentional, and aligned.

Discovery & Creative Direction

Before the shoot, I take time to understand your project, your brand, and your goals. Whether you're an interior designer preparing for publication, a boutique hotel updating your visuals, or a lifestyle brand launching a campaign — I guide the process with clarity and collaboration. Whether you come with a detailed brief or just a vision, I’ll help shape a strategic shot list, offer art direction, and make sure we’re aligned on visual tone.

Elevated Styling with an Editorial Eye

Styling is where the magic often happens — and it’s one of the most valuable parts of what I bring to a shoot. I fine-tune the elements already present in your space or product: adjusting composition, softening edges, introducing negative space, and bringing cohesion to the scene. It’s a refined approach that adds sophistication and story without feeling overworked.

Nationwide Availability

Although I’m based in the Pacific Northwest, I regularly travel for projects across the country—including cities like Seattle, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and more. I specialize in interiors and lifestyle photography, partnering with designers, hospitality brands, and creative teams to create refined, editorial-style visuals.

Whether I’m photographing a thoughtfully designed space or capturing the ease of a lived-in moment, I bring a calm, collaborative approach to every shoot—one that’s rooted in clarity, craft, and intentional storytelling.

 

Calm, Intentional On-Location Experience

Shoot days are grounded, clear, and calm. I bring years of experience leading commercial, lifestyle, and interiors shoots — knowing how to keep things moving while creating space for creativity and spontaneity. Whether you’re a solo founder or a full creative team, the day will feel thoughtful, efficient, and inspiring.

Curated, Ready-to-Use Image Delivery

After the shoot, I deliver a gallery of refined, high-resolution imagery tailored for your intended use — whether that’s editorial publication, marketing, web, or social. Every photo is edited with intention and curated for clarity, so you receive a gallery that’s both beautiful and brand-ready.


Video Content

In addition to photography, I offer short-form video production for brands looking to connect through motion. From cinematic reels to behind-the-scenes stories, I create elevated, platform-ready content that feels cohesive and artful.

My video work is tailored for social and web use—ideal for showcasing interiors, product launches, or lifestyle narratives in a way that’s both polished and personal.


From thoughtful styling to creative direction, I bring an editorial lens to every detail — helping your space, product, or story shine with subtle polish and timeless clarity.
