The camera taught me something important, that I’m still learning to this day. I pass those lessons on through my work.

My work captures that inviting moment, just before the shutter clicks, where time seems to freeze but never quite does. The moment that invites you to experience it, that begs for presence. From personal explorations to brand collaborations, the intention is always the same: to make you pause, stop, and feel something real.

A year into exploring my craft, I joined VERVE Magazine as Head Photographer. I currently am Art Director for the online publication, guiding and executing our shared creative vision.
