CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world for my photo project "Crossing Lines | Finding Love"!!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Photographer based in Edmonton where I live with my husband, Joseph. I moved from NYC, where I had been living for the past 10 years. Prior to that I lived in Arizona. I am a documentary photographer. I love working on photo projects and my fav one is my series on love stories from around the world. I started my project in 2014 with breaks here and there. For my project I focus on traveling to countries and finding married couples to photograph and interview. If you’d like to follow my work,
