You'll never find me absently pressing the shutter button. Instead, I approach your love story like an art director - using light, space, and composition creatively to craft truly one-of-a-kind images.

To know me is to know my love for getting lost on cobblestone streets in Europe, stumbling across vintage treasures while thrifting, getting an impromptu tattoo with a friend while travelling, sending podcast-style audio messages to friends, devouring pizza, trying chai latte’s at a new coffee shop and couch potato-ing with my cats. 

I’m sensitive, sentimental and endlessly fascinated by the world. I’m an all-or-nothing kind of person - subtlety has never been my strong suit, and I have a tendency to pour myself fully into whatever captures my attention. I’m deeply attuned to people - their gestures, interactions, and the quiet, fleeting moments that often go unnoticed but hold the most meaning. I approach life (and photography) with intention and attentiveness, always seeking to honor what’s real. I’m drawn to depth over surface-level chatter - I’d rather talk about psychology and childhood traumas over weather and work any day. I love witnessing connection in its many forms: the intimate glance between two people, unspoken laughter in a crowded room, or those seconds that feel suspended in time. These are the moments that inspire me - the ones I seek out and hold onto, both behind the camera and in life.
