Encompassed Co

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a season filled with peace, rest, and joy.

May this time invite you to slow down, reflect, and be present with what truly matters. Grateful for the people, conversations, and moments that made this year meaningful. For those who find this time of year difficult: you are seen and loved.

Here’s to a season of peace and a new year shaped by intention.

Perfection is fear’s illusion.

Excellence is the truth of your identity coming alive.

When identity is your compass, fear loses its power, and every move becomes a declaration of who you are.

I started my first business in high school, doing wedding and portrait photography. At the age of 17, I was hired for my first wedding.

When I began photography, I was immediately drawn to the way light hit objects. It was as if the world suddenly became comprised of compositions, framed in small windows that made up the larger scene.

The more I ventured into portraits and working with humans - embracing people's discomfort at being in front of the lens, guiding the journey of relaxing into the process, noticing the way couples would interact - the more I fell in love with this incredible ability to capture stories unfolding right in front of me.

My love of story and identity has taken on various roles over the years. Photography was just the starting place for me; the vehicle through which I began to sharpen my eye.

I've carried many titles in the years of running my branding studio, but each has only ever been the way I'm able to lean into this love of story and identity - and invite others into the journey as well.

It is truly such an honor to be able to work alongside organizations in the role of Brand Strategist and Creative Director. I find joy in facilitating the uncovering of identities that already exist - but just need guidance in how to unlock and release for the world to see.
