Visual storyteller. Founder of Soul Aligned Travels.

I'm a visual storyteller based in Washington State, creating cinematic content for luxury stays and boutique properties.

For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to the way spaces make people feel — the light, the details, the quiet moments that turn a place into a memory. It's something I've carried with me since I was a kid. I just didn't have a name for it yet.

When I made the decision to rebuild my life around work that actually lights me up, Soul Aligned Travels was born. I traded the career that looked right on paper for the one that felt right in my soul — and everything clicked.

That shift gave me a deep appreciation for spaces designed with intention, for the quiet details that make a place feel like home, and for the kind of beauty that can only be captured when you slow down long enough to really see it.

My Approach

Soul Aligned Travels doesn't create content that looks like an ad. We create content that feels like a moment.

Every property has something that makes it worth the trip — the way light falls through the windows at golden hour, the sound of nothing but trees and wind, the details the owner poured their heart into that guests might walk right past. Our job is to make sure no one walks past them.

We work with natural light, slow pacing, and a cinematic eye to produce reels, photography, and social content that does one thing really well: make people feel something. And when people feel something, they book.
