Her images are eclectic and include subjects taken from nature and her travels in the United States and abroad. Her images have been described as having a "tranquil and ethereal" quality.

She Also enjoys experimenting with various creative post-processing techniques, including high dynamic range imaging, the Orton technique, texture overlays and mirror imaging.
