You’re in the right place to start curating your own story.
I’m a renaissance soul to my core. I love photography, science, family history, and so much more...and throughout everything I do I know that my purpose is to weave life’s most important stories together.
I’ve pursued my passion for science throughout my traditional education and have sought to deeply understand this incredible curious world we live in. While my science has continued to fuel my analytical brain.
My photography fuels my creative brain.
And Legacies Untold fuels the purpose behind it all.
Through studying my own family history, I’ve realized that genealogy isn’t just a niche interest. It’s a sacred, life-changing, and necessary experience that allows you to find peace, belonging, understanding, and healing in your relationships with family members and your understanding of yourself.
I know how to study and organize family history with a tack-sharp eye for detail, ask the right questions to evoke stories from family members, create a cohesive timeline of events from scattered genealogy information, and put it all together in an heirloom volume that is not only deeply meaningful...but crafted to be a treasured piece of art that is worth passing down for generations.
My worlds may seem very different, but they all make me whole. My passion for science helps me understand and appreciate the beauty of photography and my photography helps me value the art of science more. And story is tied in the whole process. This is my happy place. This is my balance. Appreciating the art and science of life and nature... whether it be in the lab or behind my camera.
Simply Put
