I have always been a bit of an oddity in my family. My parents were hippies who grew up during the 60s and 70s, so they instilled in me a deep love for nature and a strong sense of rebellion against societal norms. I've spent most of my life living off the grid, traveling to new places, and learning from different cultures.

As a young adult, I found myself drawn to the world of art and expression. I began writing poetry and short stories, which eventually led me to pursue a degree in creative writing. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for photography and the way it could capture the beauty of life and the world around us.

After completing college, I spent several years traveling throughout Europe, taking photographs, and meeting new people. During this time, I developed my skills as a photographer and honed my eye for capturing unique perspectives on everyday life. Now, I'm based in Portland, Oregon, where I continue to work on my craft and share my love of photography with others through workshops and classes.
