I’d like to say I always wanted to be a photographer, but that’s only half true.

This was a passion I didn’t tap into until later in life — but it was always there. The well just hadn’t been opened yet.

Growing up, I always had my nose in magazines. Specifically, skateboarding magazines. I was drawn to the creativity, the grit, and the personalities that could be captured simply by a photo. Skateboarding has long been ahead of pop culture in terms of fashion, which naturally led me to obscure designers throughout the country and around the world. And in seeking out those designers, I found even more creative photography.

What I thought was a love of skateboarding and fashion was actually a love for brief moments captured by photography.

While I don’t typically do fashion or skateboarding photography, that influence still shapes how I see. It informed me in ways I didn’t realize at the time.

Once I got my hands on a camera and went down the rabbit hole, I knew I wanted to pursue this seriously. Photography became less about taking pictures and more about paying attention — to people, to energy, to small moments that usually go unnoticed.

Today, I create images that feel natural, honest, and grounded in real connection.

If you’re here, it’s probably because you care about meaningful images too. I’d be honored to help create them with you.
