2023 - 2024
The last 2 years have given me an incredibly fulfilling chapter of my life. In January 2023, I decided to make the move back to Seattle, the city that raised me, after 7 years of living in NYC.
Leaving NYC was hard at the time, everything I knew was there - but I was also creatively stuck in the biggest rut I had ever experienced. I was uninspired to create any photo work of my own, which almost lead to me fully stepping away from my creative development entirely.
Seattle brought me mental clarity that I desperately needed, a healthy dose of that “Pacific Northwest Grade-A Quality AIR”, and a fresh perspective on life. I laughed & twirled with my lifelong friends, spent time with the family, attended innumerable music festivals and became a first time homeowner.
Professionally, I had the privilege of working with
@heffnermanagement as the Head of their Art Department and Lead Scout. To my forever dream team - Nancy, Alicia, and Anjel: I am FOREVER grateful for your constant support, encouragement, and ability to uplift me to new heights. To all the models and creatives I had the honor of meeting and collaborating with - connecting with each of you was so special, pls stay in touch!
In December of 2024, the creative bug came back with a fucking vengeance. After sitting near-dormant for two years, it was a feeling that I didn’t ever think would come back in its entirety. I decided it was time to return to full-time photo work, to get back to what I’ve been doing since 8th grade, when my uncle gave me his old film camera.
I love my hometown and my people. SEA - I’ll be back soon, the bicoastal era has just begun. NYC, I am back and I am available for photo bookings! I have new work coming soon, stay tuned! <3
