If you had told me when I got pregnant that I would be spending the first day of my third trimester on a car commercial shoot in the middle of the Mojave Desert in California I would have laughed and said ‘who would do that?!’ But life being the crazy ride (car pun partially intended?)Continue reading “Third Trimester in the Mojave Desert”

Post Covid-19 Producing
One of my favorite parts of producing is working with the team. VFX Artists, Colorists, Directors, Editors – it’s that collaboration and real-time problem solving that I’ve found the most rewarding. Then Covid-19 happened. Luckily our team was able to get up and running remotely fairly quickly. VFX generally requires some remote logging in anywaysContinue reading “Post Covid-19 Producing”
The Dead Don’t Die
For Jim Jarmusch’s latest film “The Dead Don’t Die” I had the immense pleasure of working as VFX Producer on the film. Working alongside VFX Supervisor Sam O’Hare and our colleagues from Sweden, Andreas Hylander and Alex Hansson we were involved in the entire process from location scout to delivery. On set we used 3DContinue reading “The Dead Don’t Die”
Portraits
On the side I shoot family portraits, engagement photos and wedding videos. I really love getting to be part of the beginning of a family or a moment in their lives so I can capture it for them in a unique way. Most of my photos are with my family and friends while the weddingsContinue reading “Portraits”

VFX Sup Sam O’Hare designed and created the rig and we spent a week out in the mountains capturing timelapseContinue reading “Colorado”
Amsterdam, Germany, Prague
In 2018 we spent three weeks traveling through central Europe visiting Amsterdam, Germany and Prague. We planned the trip to coincide with Amsterdam’s Tulip Festival and I was surprised when my boyfriend of 8 years at the time proposed to me in the middle of the tulip fields : ) We were also both superContinue reading “Amsterdam, Germany, Prague”
Iceland
In 2019 we took the most magical trip around the entirety of the country of Iceland. We rented a car and spent two weeks outdoors on beautiful hikes, breathing in the cleanest air I have ever experienced.
Italy
In 2017 we took a trip around the Northern Part of Italy. Flew into Rome and out of Madrid. One of the best trips I’ve ever been on and I produced the crap out of it (if you’re interested, check out the itinerary! )
