I was born and raised on beautiful Vancouver Island, In the unceded territories of the Coast Salish and Kwakwaka'wakw first nations on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada, Growing up on the Pacific Ocean, in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, and under the snowcapped coastal mountain range, natural beauty has always played a big part of my life. Wherever I am in the world, I try to reflect this appreciation of natural beauty in my photography. 

After completing a degree in political science and economics at McGill University in Montreal, I moved to California and obtained a degree in professional photography from the renowned Brooks Institute of Photography. This program led me to New York City, where I refurbished and lived on 1979 Sabre 28' sailboat, working for Annie Leibovitz and Mark Seliger, in succession. As first assistant for Mark, I had the amazing opportunity to travel the world with him for four years, managing his photography world. 

After calling my name for many years, the Pacific Northwest finally pulled me back in 2018, and I have been based on the west coast of British Columbia since then. I have upgraded vessels to a 1977 DownEast 38' sailboat, which my partner Meesh and I have been refurbishing while exploring the BC coast.  I have had the incredible opportunity to further pursue my passion for coastal environmental conservation, working first with Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier at Sealegacy, and then with Raincoast Conservation Foundation, working on their 68' steel sailboat, Achiever. I am now based on the beautiful Quadra Island, and can be found exploring this stunning area. 

I am always excited to explore new opportunities and to meet new people, so please feel free to contact me with any inquiries, comments, or questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!
