ABOUT ME
For the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a professional hair and makeup artist across weddings, television, commercial, and editorial spaces. My career began in beauty, but over time, it became so much more than creating a finished look. It became about storytelling, emotion, transformation, and the little details that make someone feel seen.
I first picked up a camera because I wanted to capture my work through my own lens instead of relying on someone else’s perspective. That simple beginning opened up an entirely new creative world for me. I started with portraits, which naturally evolved into boudoir and intimate photography, where I found a deeper love for capturing people in ways that feel authentic, artful, and empowering.
Photography also became part of my relationship with nature. I’ve always loved hiking with my camera and macro lens, spending hours in the woods getting lost in the smallest details of plants, trees, textures, and light. Botanical photography became a way for me to show people the beauty they may have walked past without noticing. I’ve always felt that I have a gift for revealing familiar things from a perspective that feels new.
From there, my love for flowers expanded into preservation. After freelancing for a wedding preservation company, I began exploring my own artistic direction through monochromatic floral artworks, pressed pieces, 3D preservation, and eventually my own garden preservation service, The Garden Legacy. This work allows me to honour flowers not just as decoration, but as memory, heirloom, season, and story.
I think many people are afraid to follow multiple interests because we’ve been taught that success requires choosing one path and giving it all of our attention. We’re told that if we have our hands in too many baskets, we couldn’t possibly become skilled, focused, or successful at all of them. But I am proof that this isn’t true.
This space exists to reflect all of who I am and all of what I create. It is a home for my art, my curiosity, my intuition, and my many creative expressions. My hope is that it also inspires other multi-passionate creatives to follow the things they feel called toward. We only have one life to live, at least one that we remember, and I don’t believe we are here to limit ourselves. We are here to create, explore, feel, make meaning, and follow the work that brings us joy.
