RECENT WORK AND MUSINGS

As Mother’s Day approaches this weekend, I wanted to share the story of a unique woman I recently met, a lady named Susanna. I met Susanna through Lighthouse Charities, of which I’ve partnered with to create portraits of local refugee families. Susanna, her husband Ibrahim and their darling 2 children, Amos and Lea, were the first family […]

BEHIND THE LENS
I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments.
I believe in creating images that demand to be printed—framed in fine art materials and displayed as the heirlooms they're meant to become. My approach is both editorial and intimate, capturing not just faces but the emotional landscape of your life. Each portrait is thoughtfully composed to reveal your authentic story while honoring the beauty of the world around you. Your journey is extraordinary and entirely your own, and I'm here to preserve it with the artistry it deserves.
