A life shaped by memory, light, and second beginnings
I came to photography before I had the words for why it mattered.
As a child, I didn’t have many photographs of my early years. After losing my father young and entering foster care before being adopted, much of my beginning exists more in feeling than in images. Over time, I realized how deeply that shaped me. Photography became a way of honoring moments — of noticing, preserving, and remembering what might otherwise fade.
What started as curiosity became something more intentional: a way of seeing the world, and of helping others hold onto their own stories.
Health, resilience, and the body as home
My path into health was just as personal.
Like many women, I navigated seasons of struggle — with my body, with food, with alcohol, with trying to feel at ease in my own skin. Those chapters led me into deeper study of longevity, cellular health, and the emotional relationship we have with aging.
For the past nine years, I’ve worked in the coaching space across private practices, small startups, and larger corporate environments — walking alongside clients who wanted to feel stronger, clearer, and more at home in themselves.
That work continues under AgeKure, my health practice focused on sustainable vitality and long-term well-being.
But at its core, it’s always been about this:
Helping people reconnect — to their bodies, to their confidence, and to the lives they want to live.
Travel, curiosity, and the spaces in between
I have a wanderer’s heart.
I’m drawn to frozen lakes, quiet roads, morning light, conversations with strangers, and meals shared in new places. Travel has never been about escape for me — it’s about expansion. Seeing how others live, what they value, how they gather, what they cook, how they age.
Through photography and writing, I share those experiences — the places, the food, the movement, the quiet reflections — in hopes that they inspire others to live fully and deliberately.
Creating tools that support meaningful work
Beyond photography and coaching, I love building.
Over the years, I’ve designed journals, client materials, presentation decks, and supporting documents for practitioners who want to offer premium, thoughtful experiences to their clients. I partner with other health professionals to provide contract coaching and to help develop resources that elevate their programs and strengthen their impact.
Good design and clear structure allow meaningful work to reach people more effectively. I believe in both.
Why this work matters
Having lost my birth family, I understand how fragile memory can be.
I understand how seasons pass.
I understand how quickly life changes.
That perspective shapes everything I do.
Whether I’m photographing a family, supporting a client’s health journey, documenting a landscape, or creating materials for a practitioner’s program — it all comes back to this:
Helping people honor where they are, preserve what matters, and move forward with intention.
A simple invitation
If you’re here to explore photography, read travel stories, work on your health, collaborate professionally, or simply follow along — welcome.
This space is an extension of how I move through the world:
curious, observant, resilient, and always learning.
