I create art through photography to capture real moments, emotion, and beauty people might otherwise miss.

My favorite type of art to create is photography that captures genuine emotion, everyday beauty, and meaningful moments. I love candid shots, natural lighting, and turning ordinary scenes into something memorable and personal.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my kids, nature, food, and everyday life. The small moments, emotions, colors, and connections around me inspire me to capture beauty in a real and meaningful way.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to invest in equipment for my micro bakery so I can continue creating edible art through sourdough and baking. It would help me grow my business, improve my craft, and bring more handmade creations to my community.
