Before I capture your story,
let me tell you mine.

______________________



I'm Iris, a photographer, senior at Stony Brook University, avid hiker, environmental educator, and artist.

From a young age, I've always had a camera in hand. With a love of nature and people, my photography often combines the two.

I'm drawn to all forms of art, and enjoy being creative whether it's photography, painting, sketching, writing, and more. I work as a naturalist and spend many days leading nature tours on land and sea. I love working with people of all ages in both educational settings and photoshoots.

Born & raised on Long Island, New York, for me,  the environment that surrounds us is such a source of creative inspiration, with beautiful beaches, magical forests, charming towns, & wonderful people.

I am currently an art student, studying Media/Art/Culture, as well as environmental humanities. As a student, I'm conscious of the ever growing cost of living, and I'm proud to provide quality photography at affordable prices.

altering life by holding it still."
