Wander Womxn
Some of the adventurous, tenacious and tender hearted people I’ve wandered this world with. And while there are many more not captured here, I am grateful for their presence, curiosity and continuous pursuit of the wild.
This website is a chance for me to share my photography and travels with friends, family, and interested parties alike. From wandering around my house, camp, and early travels with disposable cameras to my current habit of lugging heavy lenses wherever I go, photography has served as a (sometimes more reliable) memory bank. Capturing my experiences has been a compelling way for me to recall what I have been drawn to (especially looking back at my early years) and compare my perspective with others'. Since my first international experience, I have been privileged to travel around the world and throughout the U.S. for school, work, and pleasure. This has served to feed my desire to learn more about people and places around the globe and in my own neighborhood. It has also laid the foundation for me to reflect on my own positionality as I become a more reflexive traveler.

One of the greatest parts about friends visiting or moving to your hometown is you begin to see it in an entirely new light. Much like watching kids experience things for the first time, your awareness of what's going on around you is peaked and new joy is found in the seemingly mundane. You're more apt to explore, you appreciate what you've taken for granted for so many years -restaurants, cool local businesses, nature, LIVING ON THE OCEAN-, and you become (even more) fiercely proud of where you grew up. People often ask where I'll settle down, and the answer usually involves a shrug of my shoulders and a "who knows", but as time goes by, the thought of Maine being my forever home creeps in every once in a while.......but then again, 🤷🏻♀️ who knows?
PS Thank you to all of my lovely friends from across the USA and around the world who have come to visit or moved to Maine - you've truly made my heart grow fonder for this place!
