Raised in South Carolina, Ireland, Korea and Hong Kong by Midwestern parents means Paige is open to just about anything and she can make friends anywhere.
Paige spent her childhood drawing and dreaming about becoming the next Jane Goodall until falling in love with photography in college. Unsure of what to do with an art degree and scared of chemistry, she majored in Geography to learn more about the world.
It was a geography professor who gave Paige her first photography job: photographing clouds in the Sierra Nevada mountains. After that summer of hiking and chasing clouds with her camera, Paige was sure about two things: she wanted to learn more about photography and she wanted to stay in California.
Except for her year in London pursuing a Masters in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism from the University of the Arts, Paige has been photographing and living in California ever since. She currently lives north of San Francisco in a house full of boys including her husband, two sons, dog and cat.
A lover of natural light, medium format film, and capturing candid moments, Paige is excited by any photoshoot with kids, dogs, or good food (especially chocolate food) and she looks forward to spending the rest of her life capturing moments, photographing her family and documenting communities.
Her philosophy in life and photography (and the tattoo she wants to get but never will)... Be Nice.
