"I started my photography journey in 2011 after I was given my first camera in high school, since then I’ve been viewing everything from a different perspective. Two years ago, I started getting into film with my parents’ old point and shoot camera that they purchased in the late 90's.
I went to my local park and started capturing everything
I saw that day.
After purchasing my first camera, the Contax G1 that I still use to this day, I started getting into film more seriously.
Living in Washington state all my life, I've always been surrounded by a lot of greenery, they don’t call it the “Evergreen State” for nothing. Getting into photography has allowed me to appreciate life and the beauty of nature so much more, capturing these special moments on film makes them even more beautiful.

I never have a set “theme” for my photos, I capture anything that catches my eye – from popular landmarks to cars to late night shots around the city to the beautiful plants such as roses and tulips that grow around us everyday.
One of my favorite activities is spending time with my husband, who is also a photographer. We love exploring new areas together and photographing the world around us.
I am so lucky to be a part of such an amazing group of people who share the same love of film that I do. I can’t wait to share my love of film photography with future generations."
