I am a photographer drawn to the cinematic textures of everyday life—moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed, but hold an undercurrent of feeling. Working through a distinctly female gaze, I seek out images that carry emotional weight, whether rooted in beauty, discomfort, longing, or contradiction. My lens is guided less by subject than by sensation; I photograph what lingers, what unsettles, what resists easy interpretation.

Across my images, I return to the emotional terrain of girlhood and young womanhood, particularly the tension of existing in a liminal state. My photographs explore what it means to be both seen and exposed—the simultaneous desire for recognition and the instinct to retreat from the gaze. I am interested in that in-between space where identities are still forming, where vulnerability and strength coexist, and where longing collides with hesitation. There is, to me, an ache in that threshold—something fleeting, unresolved, and profoundly human.

Visually, this tension often manifests in contrasts: softness against starkness, performance against stillness, intimacy against distance. Whether through staged compositions or found moments, I aim to capture the subtle contradictions that define this period of life—not as something to resolve, but as something to hold.

My photography has been exhibited widely in both regional and international group exhibitions. My work has been shown at the CREATE Council on the Arts, the Schweinfurth Art Center, the Woodstock Artists Association, and the Spiva Center for the Arts, among others. My photographs have also been published in outlets such as The University of Pennsylvania Journal of Arts and Sciences and L’Esprit Literary Magazine.

Through all of this work, my aim remains consistent: to render visible the emotional undercurrents of being young and female, and to preserve the fragile, fleeting intensity of moments that exist just before something changes.
