A new chapter, created together.
After nearly 20 years of living, working, and building my creative life in the United States, I am preparing to apply for permanent residency.
WHY I’M DOING THIS
Nearly 20 years here. One important step ahead.
The United States has been my home for nearly two decades. It is where I have grown as a woman, a photographer, filmmaker, and a writer, built lasting friendships, found community, and created a body of work centered on people, culture, and our relationship with the natural world.
I am now ready to take the next step and apply for my greencard. Between immigration attorney fees and USCIS application costs, the process will cost just over $15,000.
To help meet that expense, I am opening a limited presale of my photography services. This is not a request for donations: it is an invitation to commission work you have been wanting to create while directly helping me move toward permanent residency.
Every package below is a photography purchase at my current rate. Sessions may be booked for yourself, your business, your creative project, your event, you new baby, your pregnancy, or as a gift.
