Hey hey !
I got my first camera when I was seven, stole my parents’ DSLR in middle school, and basically never gave it back. Since then, I’ve been chasing the kind of photos that actually feel like you. Not stiff poses, not fake smiles—just real people in real moments. being their most real selves.
When you shoot with me, expect two things: laughter and honesty. If your expression looks weird, I’ll tell you. If you don’t know what to do with your hands, I’ll fix it. I’ll also probably hand you a shooter (21+ only, obviously) so we can loosen up together. Above all, my goal is to make you feel comfortable enough to forget about the camera—and to capture you at your most authentic.
Photography that captures how you feel. And yes, we’re going to have fun doing it.
