QUALIFITCATIONS
We all want to love what we do, right? I am committed to, and prioritize, creating a safe, personable and fun experience for those I work with; exploring the wonders of the ocean and conveying the importance of ocean conservation.
WHY ME
Experience Is Important To Me
Many of our daily activities - such as using electricity, driving a car, or disposing of waste - cause greenhouse gas emissions. Together these emissions make up a household's carbon footprint. The calculator estimates your footprint in three areas: home energy, transportation and waste.
Offsetting My Carbon Creation
A carbon offset is a method of compensating for the emissions you cause as a person or a business. Whether you’re traveling, using electricity, or doing anything else that leaves a carbon footprint, these activities harm the planet.
I am committed to offsetting as much of my carbon footprint as possible with Cool Effect every year.
ABOUT ME
I grew up with a deep love and appreciation for the ocean and let that calling lead my life after college. I worked at One Ocean Diving on business operations and marketing, where I also learned how to interact with sharks, furthering my knowledge and safety when exploring the ocean as a diver. Since then, I've continued my education by the books, and in the water, as a professional underwater photographer and avid ocean conservationist in places like Hawaii, Fiji, U.S. Virgin Islands, and French Polynesia. You can find me in or on the ocean on our boat, in the mountains or in my garden (typically all behind my camera)!
My passion for ocean conservation and sustainability translates in many different areas of my life and I use my platforms to encourage people to make changes in their lives to live more sustainably. From beach and reef clean ups, to gardening and composting- I don't just talk the talk. This is a mission I am truly passionate about. To have the opportunity to combine my love for the ocean, travel and storytelling all to create impactful change, is the dream. I am very passionate about working with brands, businesses and organizations who are creating change and aren't just talking the talk.
What kind of projects do you work with?
I work on all kinds of projects. I mostly work in adventurous spaces (like hiking and underwater) but I am open to most creative opportunities. If I am not behind the camera, I can be found providing creative direction or aid in project production.

Do you only do photography or do you also offer videography?
Yes! While much of my work is stills, I also love capturing videos because they tell a story photos just can't (and vice versa).

How can I experience the ocean with you?
That really depends on the situation! Reach out to me through my contact page and let's chat.

Do you have standard packages?
back to the list
Because every project and brand need is so unique and different, I do not have a standard price list.
The steps for working together typically look like: Submitting an inquiry through the contact form on my contact page, scheduling a scoping call, executing the scoping call and talking about your needs , sending a contract over, any production emails or phone calls, executing the project, providing deliverables within the agreed timeline (if the project calls for deliverables), and any feedback or revisions.
What are your values?
