This is a collaboration between you + I. 

Which means what you allow me to see about you while we get to know one another, will be the story that I tell. This intimacy is where the magic happens - not later on while I am editing by myself - but it is in the actual moment of vulnerability that you + I allow to take place between us.

It's all connected.

Your passions.

Your hobbies.

Your desires.

The people + places you enjoy.

My camera + I are merely tools being used to mirror who you are + what you want to reveal. 

As a  relational photographer + artist,  relationship is my highest priority. The images I make with the camera, or the objects, drawings, writings and sewing projects created with my hands, can all be linked through my relationships with the land, with the people,  with my family + friends, with lovers, and even with my own personal struggles.

Using a relational approach, instead of a business minded approach, I will be afforded a true glimpse into who you are and from that interaction, I am able to tell your story in an honest + genuine way.  By remaining acutely sensitive to who you are, who we are together (our shared energies) and what is being created, I can weave together the threads of your life + work in a visually artistic manner.

This is an experience, not just a photo session on a Saturday afternoon. We will have several opportunities to get to know one another before I even get my camera out of my bag.. It may take several sessions to become comfortable with me, and that's fine, I can wait. This is a long form project because for me, it is not only the images we produce, but also the transformation that takes place within us both. The images are an outcome of that work and is merely the container I use to hold what we received and/or created. Through the photographs, we can revisit that feeling again and again, especially when we forget.
