When I first was accepted to grad school at Syracuse University, I knew I was going to live with my friend from home, the beautiful and talented, Leah Stacy. But we needed a third roommate. “She seems cool – my boyfriend knows her,” Leah told me. The third roommate would turn out to be one [...]
Usually an adventure starts something like this: “Want to go to (insert random city here)?” Me: “Hell yes.” This time, that city was New Orleans. Ted and our friend Dave came up with the idea to take a road trip to The Big Easy last year when they were studying in London. Our other friend [...]
Paper. That’s the assignment I was given in my studio class this week. Concept photographs are an entirely new outlet to me, but brainstorming photo ideas and sketching them out has done wonders for my creativity. It’s even inspired me to follow in the footsteps of photographer Rick Nunn and begin a 52 weeks project. [...]
When it comes down to it, there’s no excuse why I never posted the final photo of my 365 project. I think part of me didn’t want it to be over, and as a perfectionist, there was no perfect way to end this project that changed my life. After months removed from taking a photo every [...]
Here are more images from our adventure to Dublin. (See Ted’s awesome photos here.) *Editing note: Ted and I recently bought VSCO Film, which I used to edit most of the photos in this batch. If you’re looking to recreate that film look, it’s definitely worth the purchase.

Boston in three words: Cozy. Young. Healthy. Here are more photos from my trip.

Thanks to Ted Rysz for the awesome photo. On Saturday I walked across the stage of the Carrier Dome in a cap and gown and shook the hands of my professors. Although it was amazing to have all the people I love there to cheer me on and see the friends I’ve made this past [...]
On Saturday, after taking photos of the amazing couple and my dear friends Veronica and Neil in Washington, D.C., I was walking around with my camera, flash still attached. A woman in a store I walked into asked if I was a photographer. I paused for a second, not knowing what my response would be. [...]
