My story

   Since I was a child there has been a camera around capturing moments of my life. It started with my grandmother and continued through out my adolescence and into my adulthood through the eyes of my own.

My grandmother has a room filled with photo albums of not only my life but of all of those who are close to her. She doesn't consider herself a photographer at all, she is a memory collector and that's what I consider myself now.

   I took a deeper dive into the photography world when I had a friend move in with me when I was 13, he took photography a little more serious and taught me the ins and outs of photography. I took those lessons in and started capturing the world around me. I quickly was captured by the love of collecting those moments in time with a little more of the photographer philosophy. We then started filming our skateboarding and making videos and learning about editing. I haven't stopped filming life since.

    Now, instead of physical photobooks, my memories are kept on hard drives and social media. My love for capturing the world around me will never fade and my art is ever evolving as I believe we are never a certain type of artist. Our lives change and so does the mind that captures the world. 

​​

                                                       

     I love to capture the natural moments that occur in our lives, I'm not too much of a fan of staging forced smiles and feelings. I will when need be, but I love to get you where you are comfortable and feel like you can be yourself.

     I am an artist that collects memories. The camera is my paintbrush and the editing software is my canvas. Every moment is different and deserves to be spotlighted in a different way. Leading to no set style of photography. I don't believe in the idea that every photographer should only send photo's in one style. It doesn't make sense to me as each memory is different.

   When you book with me, I'd like to join you on your day. If it's a family photoshoot, I want to join y'all during a normal day in your life together. If its a couples shoot, I want to quietly join you on a normal date. I don't even want you to realize I'm there capturing these beautiful moments. If its a pet shoot, I want to join you on your normal walk with your furry loved ones. Whatever service you book, I will be there silently capturing who you are.

I want to join you in where you feel most like you. I want you to be you. 

The real love, the real feelings, the real moments, the real raw emotions caught on my camera are the moments I want you to remember forever.

I want you to be able to rewatch your memories and feel those real feelings again and again.
