Hello! I’m a freelance photojournalist and documentary photographer based in Austin, Texas.

Whether I’m traveling Texas telling familiar stories, covering a natural disaster or getting intentionally lost outside somewhere, I always strive to leave the people who let me into their lives feeling seen, respected and cared for.
