I'm a portrait photographer and film creator in love with documenting the simple joys of life and the real, honest stories among people. I am mega passionate about noticing the light and love around me and reflecting it back to others.

As a storyteller, I create films on the Simple Joys Youtube channel, guided meditations to help you access the light and truth within yourself and am currently writing my first book about slow living.

Originally from San Diego CA, I lived a fast life hustlin' it out in NYC for 5 years before moving to France in 2018. I now live a slow, creative life in France with my husband, Alex. 

here's a little bit about me
