Studio Sessions
Studio Sessions are an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and dedicate uninterrupted time to your creative practice.
Hosted in my small cozy Philadelphia studio, these sessions are intentionally flexible and built around your goals. Throughout the day, we'll use the studio itself as a creative tool. We'll spread prints across the table, sequence images on a magnetic wall, look for visual patterns and recurring themes, explore printing, explore artist books, and discuss how your work might exist beyond a screen.
Whether we're editing a portfolio, shaping a personal project, or rethinking your creative direction, the goal is to make your work tangible. A chance to slow down, notice connections, and discover new possibilities with your imagery.
Every Studio Session is different, but each one is rooted in curiosity, conversation, and the act of making.

Private Studio Session
Spend a day in my Philadelphia studio focused entirely on your work. Together we'll review your portfolio, sequence photographs on the magnetic wall, print and assemble zines, explore artist books, discuss your business or creative practice, and develop a clear path forward.
Private sessions can be hosted any time pending our shared availability.
Group Studio Session
A small-group experience limited to three participants hosted in my Philadelphia studio. Through portfolio critiques, collaborative editing, sequencing exercises, and shared conversation, we'll spend the day learning from one another while developing each person's work.
Group sessions are limited to 3 participants.. Dates for group sessions are updated regularly.
