My approach is intuitive, energized, and collaborative, balancing a deep respect for the craft with a clear understanding of client goals.

I'm a Montana-based commercial and editorial photographer. My work lives at the intersection of mission and aesthetics, serving nonprofits, brands, and agencies that have something real to say.

Born in Saudi Arabia to a family always on the move, I grew up with a curiosity for the world's stories. A BFA in photography and two decades behind the lens later, I'm still as passionate about what I do as when I started.

In the middle of it all, I gained over 20 years of experience as a Social Worker. I can’t stress enough how much this has influenced what I do. I often tell people that I used to be a Story-keeper, now I am a Story-teller. I bring a rare combination of artistic vision, production expertise, and a broad understanding of humanity. From ideation to final delivery, I direct and execute photo shoots that align with brand narratives and engage target audiences. I think I used to call this high-acuity, client-centered, detailed case management with longitudinal, evidence-based measured outcomes…or something.

So, whether it's a large-scale production with deep budgets or agile, concept-driven campaigns. I work to collaborate with PR, advertising, and storytelling teams to ensure every image serves a purpose and elevates the brand's visual language.

I thrive in environments where creativity meets purpose, and I’m passionate about building and scaling visual identities that resonate. I’m always open to new creative opportunities to continue telling stories that bring us together and help us understand one another just a little bit more.
