I’m a photographer, photo editor, and book maker, living in Woodstock, NY. Originally from upstate New York, I studied undergraduate photography at Bard College and then moved to New York City where I worked as a photographer, photo and bookings editor, and producer. I simultaneously formed, performed, and recorded with the bands Goodnight Gunfight, Childress, and Love Tribe. I then received an MFA from Bard College and The International Center of Photography, where I studied abroad at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles, France. I now live in the Hudson Valley with my husband and two children.

My photography spans a wide range of subjects, but ultimately was inspired by the first photographer I fell in love with at age 8. Bruce Wrighton was a family friend, an 8x10 film photographer from my hometown of Binghamton, NY. While I incorporate the diversity of tones, and messages that photography can convey, my passion has always been people, our environments, and the mutual influence that these things have upon each other. I drawn from my experience being raised in upstate NY, the history of the region, as well as the history of photography, and it’s powerful ability to create and tell stories.
