I’m a photographer based in Northern California, originally from Pennsylvania, with a background rooted in wildlife and landscape photography. Over the past six years, I’ve spent most of my time behind the camera chasing light, exploring new places, and learning how to slow down enough to actually see what’s in front of me.

      I recently completed my bachelor’s degree in digital photography, which helped me refine both the technical and creative side of my work. But most of what shaped my style came from being out in the field, early mornings, long hikes, and spending time in environments where things aren’t staged or controlled.

      Now, I’m starting to bring people into that same space. My work is focused on photographing individuals in natural settings, creating images that feel grounded, intentional, and connected to the environment around them. The goal isn’t just to take a photo, it’s to create something that feels real to the moment and the place.

​

      Photography started as a way for me to get outside more. Living in Pennsylvania, I spent a lot of time exploring local parks, trails, and quiet places that most people overlook. I was drawn to wildlife and landscapes because they didn’t need anything from me. You couldn’t force the moment, you just had to be patient and pay attention.

      That mindset carried with me when I moved to California. Being here completely changed the scale of what I was shooting, from the mountains to the coastline, it pushed me to grow and see things differently. I started to focus more on light, timing, and how a place actually feels, not just how it looks.

      Over time, I realized the part that was missing was people.

Not in a posed or studio sense, but as part of the environment itself. That’s where my work is now. I’m transitioning into photographing people in natural landscapes, bringing the same approach I’ve always had into something more personal and collaborative.

      Habitat Photography comes from that idea. It’s about the connection between people and the spaces they exist in. Whether it’s a quiet trail, the coastline, or somewhere that holds meaning to you, the goal is to capture that experience in a way that feels honest and lasting.
