ABOUT
- I have always loved sports, but since I am not the best athlete - I have taken to photographing them. I am currently a freelance sports/editorial/commercial photographer based out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
- I have been shooting professionally since 2008, after graduating from the photojournalism program at SAIT (where I also have recently worked as a contract instructor in the same program). When I am not shooting for my clients or myself, I can be found on the basketball court - or more accurately warming the bench.
I spent over seven seasons as the team photographer for the Calgary Hitmen (WHL) and Calgary Roughnecks (NLL) and over three seasons as a photographer with the Calgary Stampeders (CFL). I also was the first team photographer for the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). Aside from working as a team photographer - I have also done a fair amount of work for the Calgary Flames (NHL), Hockey Canada and many other sports organizations. I am now the contract team photographer for the newest NLL franchise - the Las Vegas Desert Dogs.
Since arriving in Las Vegas, I have been working as a freelance photographer for Getty Images, Imagn Content (formerly USA Today Sports Images), and ESPN.
Awards:
- In 2018, I received an Aboriginal Role Model Award for Arts/Media. In 2016, I was named to the CAAWS list of Most Influential Women in Sport and Physical Activity. I have also been featured in two Indigenous magazines as a role model for Indigenous youth.
- I love what I do and I hope I can help you with your next photo project. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
