“People who love to eat are always the best people.” - Julia Child

From an early age, I understood food as more than just a mealtime. More than simply nourishment. Food carries the unique ability to connect, inspire, heal, awaken, and indulge us, and that is profound to me. It became clear as a young girl that I would absolutely have a career in food when I grew up.

What I didn’t realize quite so early on is that food could also be art. Or that I could be creative. As a science major, textbook-reader, medical research aficionado…did I think I would become an artist? Hardly. I hated crafts and still cringe at the thought of tape and glue.

What I did have was a strong intuition, trust in the process, and joy in finding out how one journey would lead to the next. After a Master’s Degree in Nutrition led me to a creative agency agency in Portland, OR, instead of medical school, I found my place in the professional world that I only could have dreamed would exist.

It’s an honor and a privilege to have spent the last 7 years working with the country’s leading natural food, product, and hospitality brands, pairing everything I know about nutrition and human physiology with even more that I have learned about creating captivating visuals.

To my clients, I am more than just a contracted photographer, but also a creative thought partner, strategic advisor, recipe developer, video producer, and genuine supporter of their mission, brand, and values.

It’s an absolute pleasure to help drive engagement and growth for my personal superheroes — the people and brands making a global-scale impact on health, the environment, and the joy of eating.
