It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.
