LOST ONE
A short dance film about grieving the person you never imagined losing. I loved exploring the contrast between the warmth of shared memories and the pain of reliving them once they’ve become part of the past.

A recap reel from the very first SF Sapphic Pride Block Party in 2025- and genuinely one of my favorite events I’ve ever had the chance to capture. The energy, joy, freedom, and sense of community in this space was something special.

CASSEY + KASSINA
This is the second chapter of a special film created for family and friends to view at the couple’s wedding reception. An intimate portrait not only of how their love story unfolded, but what it feels like to exist inside of it. One of my favorite projects to date- would love to do more of these.
