In the early months of 2020, fresh out of a horribly unhealthy relationship, I was feeling pretty lost. Covid had just shut down my city in Orange County, California, and I was stuck in a job I hated as a grocery store cashier. I was 22 and had no idea who I was or what truly made me happy.

About a year later, after having done some healing from the toxicity of that relationship and moving out of a customer-facing job (people are assholes...), a friend invited me out to Joshua Tree to climb. Having never climbed before, but having always been curious to try, I accepted. I fell in love instantly. Beyond the electrifying way it felt to be on the rock, I was stoked for the reason to get outside. This newfound passion of climbing quickly expanded to an overall obsession of the outdoors.

By then I had already been working regularly with cameras, primarily shooting real estate photography as a side hustle. Given the joy I felt outdoors and the eye I had for photography, it seemed like a no-brainer to combine the two.

Now, years later, I work in marketing as a photographer, videographer and designer. When I'm not shooting for a brand, I'm shooting for my soul. Wildlife is my most recent photographic interest, specifically bears. I find it incredibly humbling to stand in the presence of a grizzly bear, only to be reminded of how small I am in the greater whole of the world.

I am forever grateful for the new perspective, growth and healing that the outdoors have given me. I now hope to be able to bring a little bit of that adventure, passion and perspective into your home.
