Meeting people from all walks of life has always been a value and passion of mine, which is why I decided to pursue my masters degree in social work.

 

What does social work and photography have to do with anything?

 

Well I realized several years ago, that combining my love for people and my hobby of photography is the perfect marriage! It is so fulfilling to document and capture life's important moments while building relationships along the way.

 

Being photographed can be such a vulnerable, but incredibly empowering experience (hence the name)!

​

With my social work background, I strive to make the photography experience as comfortable as possible using a trauma-informed lens. What does that mean? Safety. It means communicating with you before the session to ensure all of your questions are answered. It means providing a welcoming and safe space to share your story. Lastly, it is practicing consent and asking before making physical contact with a person.
