Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I had just lost my father, my mom had just given birth to my little brother and I was figuring out who I wanted to become. I would look back on these photos and think, “I remember how happy I was that day.” “Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!” Or even, “What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??” These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

When you have a session with me, it’s not just about getting perfectly posed images (though we’ll get those too!). You may hear “YAASS!” from me more than once and you’re definitely gonna get some sort of punny jokes along the way. There may be times that I’ll have you do something silly to get a genuine laughing smile. Maybe I’ll stop you while you’re walking because the light is hitting you in a way that looks like you’re in a movie. Or perhaps I’ll have you strike a model pose because the wind is blowing your hair perfectly like Beyoncé. It’s those unexpected but beautiful moments that make an image really special.
