I took a photography program in college fully convinced I’d never shoot portraits. I was certain I’d avoid people and focus on anything else, and somehow, that’s exactly where everything changed.

Portrait photography became the thing I fell in love with most. Not just taking photos of people, but learning how to capture emotion, connection, and presence, the in-between moments that feel honest and lived in. That shift shaped the foundation of my work and continues to influence everything I create. Today, my passion lives in cinematic couple portraits and fantasy-driven imagery, but at the heart of it all is people. I’m drawn to storytelling, mood, and creating photographs that feel intentional, expressive, and personal, whether that’s a quiet portrait or a fully styled conceptual session.

The moth and cathedral window in my logo reflect this evolution. The moth represents transformation, curiosity, and the pull toward light, much like my own path into portrait work and my instinct-led approach to photography. The cathedral window symbolizes structure, discipline, and reverence for light itself, a nod to my technical training and the years spent learning how light shapes emotion and meaning.

I’m a highly trained photographer, and now a college professor teaching the same photography program I once studied in. Education and experience inform every session, but so does intuition, collaboration, and trust. My goal is always to create a space where you feel guided, comfortable, and confident, and where the final images feel like more than just photographs. This work is about connection, transformation, and capturing people as they are,  with intention, care, and a little bit of magic.
