Milwaukee Photographer | Bio, clients, contact info
ABOUT
I get to live a curiosity-driven life, and I love it! A photographer has license to explore. I get a chance to go behind-the-scenes, to learn and observe, and record stories and meaning with my photos -- it's almost like having a passport to meet people and see places the general public normally doesn't.
Connecting with people as a photographer has shaped my perspective and developed my ability to tell stories.
Whether I’m one-on-one with a farmer in the field or working with a team in the studio or on location, the goal is to bring a unique vision to the project.
I know for a fact you'll probably get more shots than you knew you needed.
DREAM VACATION: Greek Islands (I went to Greek school as a kid, so that helps) and anywhere in Italy. Also anywhere in Utah.
FAVORITE SMELL: Rain in the desert
3 DREAM DINNER DATES: Michael Stipe, Georgia O’Keefe, Amy Sedaris
CURRENT ADDICTION: @hello.sarika: an unexpected side project with a couple of my dear friends - flexing a muscle I didn't know I had
FAVORITE EMBARRASSING MUSICIANS NOT EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT LOVING: Gordon Lightfoot and The Scorpions
AFRAID OF HEIGHTS? Yes, very.
GUILTY PLEASURES: Watching “Grey’s Anatomy” and eating banana cream pie (not at the same time, but that's not a bad idea)
SPORT: volleyball (two high school state championships) and baseball (met my husband because we both shot for the Milwaukee Brewers)
CURRENT FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHERS: Dorthea Lange, Chris Buck, Romona Rosales, Emily Shur, Robert Frank (but my list is constantly in flux)
MOTTO: "I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like."
