My Story


I’ve been chasing light and stories since I was eight years old, camera in hand, side by side with my Grandpa. He was the one who first handed me a camera — a chunky little Canon digital from the early 2000s — and told me it was mine for the week. Every evening on that trip, we’d sit together and go through the photos I’d taken, one by one. He taught me to look closer, to notice more, and most of all, to find the beauty in the everyday.

Some of my very first photos.... Eeek!

Chapter 2

 

Photography has followed me ever since — through school, through travel, through big moments and quiet ones. In university, a photo I took won first place in a campus-wide contest, and something in me started to shift. It was the first time I saw photography as meaning something more to me. I couldn't believe in myself enough at the time, and doubted that I could ever be worthy of the title "photograph" until one day I decided.... F*** THAT!!!

Today, I get to do what I love — capturing honest, beautiful glimpses of real people and real moments. I bring a little old soul, a lot of heart, and a touch of magic to every shoot. Whether we’re documenting a love story, a soul-friendship, or simply where you are in life right now, I want you to look back on these photos and see yourself clearly. Timeless, true, and exactly as you are. Beautiful!

What's Your Stoy?

 

I can't wait to hear it!

 

I take my cats, my camera, and my cheese boards very seriously!
