And it’s incredibly nice to have you here.

Photography gave me a run for my money when I started traveling around Europe and Asia back in 2017. When America is all you know for 23 years, the culture shock is intoxicating—and so you better make art with it. I had to find a way to encapsulate and preserve my experiences, beyond memory and mind. There’s a different flavor of to life overseas. Man’s physical work is etched on his hands and heart’s work carved onto his face. Everything about the soul is raw and exposed. Could it be possible that someone else could be moved by this, but in a photo?

It was during my solo excursion through foreign countries that my documentary-style approach to photography emerged. Capturing the gritted, emotional, multi-cultural shared human experience was sustenance for my hungry heart.

Slowly my work has evolved from a multi-cultural focus to a focus on intentional music festivals and retreats, lifestyle portraiture and branding, and weddings.

I feel most at home behind the lens when I am capturing candid moments shared between people rich in presence and celebration. Chances are you’ll forget I’m even there, or wonder how we weren’t best friends before the photoshoot. My editing style is documentary-like, nostalgic, filmy + grainy, with a timeless antique feel.

When it comes to our project together, we will collaborate on your vision, mission, or telling your love story. We both play a hand at crafting the scene and I care about your hopes and expectations for the final product. It’s not your responsibility to know what to do, but it my ask that you share some of your heart and ideas and dreams with me so we preserve, honor, and create with that at the center.

Hopefully you were drawn to my work for the shared appreciation we both have for honesty, authenticity, expression, play, and love. That’s what it’s all about baby!
