my story
After discovering my family's broken SLR camera, a lifelong unschooler, I began exploring and learning the manual components that remained. In a very short time, I had mastered the camera and was snapping beauty everywhere! After a manual SLR course honed my skills and I was gifted a new camera, my camera bag was never far away. Finding inspiration in nature, my photography captures the beauty and wonder around me. I also enjoy 'free lens' nature photography and catching spontaneous moments in time that tell a story. I hope these images speak to you and perhaps stir a memory in your heart.

What is cyanotype
cyanotype printing!
Cyanotype printing is a photography printing method from the 1800s that uses the sun and iron salts to create a vibrant, deep cyan image. However, the method has changed over the years to be more accessible to all.

the dyeing process
With cyanotype, since it's a natural art, you can dye it with many different things like wine, beets, green tea and London fog! It's a super interesting process that gives you so much creative liberty.
