I create to capture real emotion - freezing moments that feel like light, love, and energy all at once.

Photography - especially portraits, grads, and couples. I love capturing people in a way that feels natural and effortless but still powerful. My style is guided by light and energy, focusing on genuine emotion, movement, and connection. I want my photos to feel like memories you can step back into, not just poses.
Where do you find inspiration?Real human connection and the in-between moments people don’t always notice. I’m inspired by movement, emotion, and how light hits differently every day. A lot of my ideas come from just observing - how people interact, how a place feels, and turning that into something visually honest and meaningful.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest in my gear and business, but also in rebuilding my life. This would give me and my mom a fresh start after a difficult season, while allowing me to grow creatively, travel, and create more meaningful work for others.
