the sassy snapper
I am a Finger Lakes native who loves to explore and learn about different cultures. I love good stories like folklore, myths, and legends, so if you’ve got any good ones, share them with me!
When I’m not behind the camera or on the computer, I am out looking for new places to explore, whether that is hiking or road-tripping. If you have a location suggestion, let me know!
Get to know me:
I have driven across the country multiple times.
I am Onondaga with the Iroquois Federation.
I love learning about our rough and rowdy Western history.
I snowboard, rock climb, and enjoy learning outdoor survival skills.
Gluten and I don’t get along. Milk either, but I drink it anyway.

Where did it all begin?
Good question. Growing up, I obtained a small interest in photography and videography. I loved looking through old family photos and watching family videos. I loved seeing my little self on the screen with my parents and siblings, reliving archived memories.
As I grew, I slowly stepped into a world of adventuring and traveling. As I did, I wanted to tell the story of each adventure, as they each have their own characters, heroic moments, and lows that we can laugh at later. My love for adventure mixed with my love of meeting new people led me to build my business to do just that.
What I've Learned: Be Present
Being in the here and now is the basis of everything your life will build upon. Life gets messy and it’s easy to have your attention called elsewhere. Today is the moment you get to spend with your friends and family, not tomorrow. Likewise, the landscape which you see today won’t look the same tomorrow; it evolves and grows. The sunset today won’t be the same tomorrow just as the snow this year won't look the same as next year.
Just as each day looks different, your story will not be the same as the person next to you. You experience emotions differently, your love language is unique, and the fire you have for life unfolds in its own tale from parent to child. Build your life so that it works for you, and let me help you tell that story in your own fun, simple, complicated, and beautiful way.
