I am an archaeologist by day - a mom, an author, lover of soil and history, but it is people that I study and write about, who capture my imagination and spur me to take on insects, weather, 120 mile treks through uncleared land in Maine, or the impressive williwaws of the Aleutian Islands. And at the end of the day, it is still people that I study. Inspired by the countless unguarded, elegant, and human moments we each experience every day, I put down my shovel and pick up my camera, but I'm doing the same thing either way - watching people and telling stories.
Here is what I have learned. Whether you are making breakfast, checking the mail, warming up for a run, or laughing with loved ones, there is art in all that you do. My motivation and my passion is to capture it in a candid, easy-going, and effortless manner that is enjoyable for everyone. My photography captures real moments in your real life. You will feel the emotional difference that that makes when you see the results.
Let me help you tell your story! Based in Portsmouth, NH, and serving the NH Seacoast area. Flexible scheduling and package options are available.
