Visual storyteller. Content creator.
Global citizen.
Driven to make a difference. Called to be of service.
Aloha! Thanks for dropping in.
My craft is creating digital content through visual story-telling by means of still and moving media.
I was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, USA - the same place I continue to call “home base,” though I’ve spent most of the past ten years living and traveling abroad, exploring various cultures, tapping into the needs of our planet and our people and hearing my call to be of service.
Since I completed my 500hr yoga teaching certification in Bali, an organic blend of colorful imagery and unique shapes developed in my lens and continues to be brought to life through the heart.
I specialize in portrait and conscious trade photography as well as offering documentary(ish)-style media for NGOs, humanitarian and environmentally concerned, progressive organizations. Now more than ever, I am being guided by the mountains and the jungles to display how the practices of yoga, meditation, intentional offerings and conscious movement between our mind and bodies directly affect how we interact with the planet and each other. I try to capture this in a candid way, allowing people to naturally flow in their environment, completely being themselves in how they exist within the container of personal expansion and mental well-being while being guided by teachers - both of humankind and of the land.
At this critical time for the planet, it is my intention to create and share imagery displaying how important it is that we intertwine the natural world with our own personal inner work.
I use the gifts and artistic eye I was given to create media for those who chose to follow their creative inspiration and are offering their authentic being to the world. My hope is that my imagery portrays the expansive global shift toward conscious movement and intentional living, the beauty and sanctity of healing arts, and the positive change of awakening that humanity is experiencing at this time.
You can most often find me in Central/South America and Southeast Asia. I split my time between the US and abroad, spending most of winter and spring between Peru and Thailand, and living in a 1990 Chevy Van during the summer and fall on the west coast of the US, popping back over to Virginia for the holidays.
Living and traveling abroad has also allowed me to experience and learn alongside native and indigenous traditions. As well as creating conscious media, I’m also an advocate for conscious awakening through the facilitation of natural medicine and healing ceremonies. If these interest you at all, please visit Guided by Anura for my alternative healing offerings.
Oh, and you may also see a “Wanderlust Photography” watermark on some image galleries - don’t worry, those are my photos with my previous business name :)
