COMPASSION
PHOTOGRAPHY
where compassion & photography meet.
After a decade of being in rooms holding birth, death and everything in between, as a photographer I noticed there were moments that needed a gentle presence, people hoping to be seen beyond their appearance, and stories that required us to step into deeper truths.
It was clear I was called to a different way of working, to be with people, not solely to take a picture or capture a moment. This way of being, this practice of Compassion photography is one which seeks to honor rather than capture, see rather than observe, and companion rather than document.
Our cameras and artistry are an extension of the view of our hearts, our intuitive way of seeing humanity, our ability to be present in emotionally layered moments and most importantly, to try our very best to honor it all.
Whether it’s a non-profit trying to share the stories of the people they serve, a trans teen celebrating a long awaited transition moment, a family walking a cancer path with their child, or a survivor re-claiming their power after abuse, I hope to honor our shared beauty, grit and even our pain, forever learning what it means to be a lens of compassion and hope.
​
with all my heart,
patience
Honoring vs. capturing, seeing rather than observing, & companioning instead of documenting.
SERVICES
PORTRAITS & MEMOIRS
Is there a part of you rising? Maybe you're a survivor reclaiming something taken, or owning an identity the world has yet to see.
​
If your intuition knows there's a story waiting to be told, I'm here to follow it with you, practicing trauma informed & empowered
based photography.

BEREAVEMENT & GRIEF SESSIONS
The depth of our grief is also the depth of our love.
Our losses are varied, vast, and part of our everyday lives. I am here to stand with you as you reflect and honor your grief story in image form.
STORYTELLING FOR NONPROFITS
I partner with local non-profits to empower the people & communities they serve and the work they do through intuitive
photography & ethical storytelling.
PALLIATIVE & END OF LIFE SESSIONS
As a trained end of life doula & pediatric hospice photographer, I have had the honor of serving and companioning so many (and their loved ones) with my heart & camera for the last 10 years in palliative and end of life sessions.
​
I am available to be a gentle presence in end of life moments at home or the hospital.
