Crisp. Colorful. Creative.
For the past 11.5 years as a professional photographer, my work has evolved and defined itself in a way I like to describe as the "3 C's":
Crisp, Colorful, and Creative.
My goal as a photographer is to capture your raw, authentic moments and bring them to life through the power of storytelling and high-quality imagery. I like to make my images 'pop' in a way that highlights color, sharpness, and authenticity.
Need help with bringing your creative vision to life? Or feeling more comfortable posing for pictures? That's where I come in!
Whether it's a solo or group portrait session, a birthday or anniversary celebration, a business or personal event, your band's set on tour or behind the scenes photos, or whatever the occasion may be, my goal is to help you feel effortlessly at ease. Let me help you navigate and capture these unforgettable moments, and turn YOU into the main character during our time together!
Behind the Lens
I'm fortunate to have been able to turn my teenage passion for photography and video into an ever-evolving career over the past 11.5 years.
I've worked in various niches within the field, and have crossed paths with countless people with unique, inspiring stories to share along the way. It's been an honor to share these stories through my work, with the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words" ringing true.

Portraits
If you're looking for a portrait photographer who will make your pictures 'pop', you've landed at the right spot.
Before I became a professional, as a teenager one of my two main focuses was taking portraits of anyone that I could.
Over time, I've developed my own unique style that I like to define by 3 "C's": Crisp, Colorful, and Creative.
Whether local or elsewhere, indoors or outdoors, solo or as a group, or of/with a pet, I have you covered. I have my own pet care business, and am very comfortable working with pets, too!
What you'll receive from me are high-quality images, where the attention to details and colors stand out. I have the experience, the eye, the vision, and high-quality gear to make this happen.
My sessions are exciting and relaxing, and my goal is to make you feel at ease. I'll provide assistance with creative direction and help you nail your poses, so you look and feel like your best self!

Couples
Over the past 11.5 years as a professional photographer, I’ve captured everything from creative portraits, to dynamic events, to live entertainment, and more.
While I've photographed countless individuals and groups over that period of time, it was in 2025 that I expanded my reach into the wedding industry.
I've since developed a passion for capturing couples in a variety of settings, from small, nuanced moments, to large, noticeable gestures. All which tell the stories of couples who are undoubtedly
in love.
While I'm not currently offering traditional wedding services of my own, I am offering general couples shoots, engagement sessions, City Hall marriages, local & destination elopements, anniversary sessions, and vow renewals.
In every session, I bring the same artistry and eye for connection I’ve honed across my diverse portfolio of work for over a decade.

Events
When it comes to events, I'm someone who will document it all: from the big 'must capture' moments, down to the smallest, yet most intimate, details.
From birthday parties, to corporate and media events, red carpets and galas, art shows, trade shows, conventions, festivals, and much more, I'm here for you. My variety of work in my portfolio provides a detailed look into the types of events I cover.
Something I've learned over time is that no two events are the same, even if they seem familiar in nature. I'll make sure to tailor yours in a way that feels specific and special to you.
From the technical skills behind the camera, to the lighting, to the artistic style in which you'd like your story to be shared, I have you covered.
At the end of the day, my job is to capture your event with timeless imagery that makes moments, no matter how big or small, stand still in time.

Live Entertainment
From capturing musicians on stage and behind the scenes, to capturing stars on red carpets, and more over the past 8 years, I'm here to document your most exhilarating, adrenaline-fueled moments.
I have experience working as
a House Photographer & Videographer for House of Blues Dallas/Live Nation, freelancing for multiple other venues, and capturing live entertainment events as a press photographer.
Many venues often don't allow flash, but that's no problem for me! I thrive in low-light settings, and I'm here to make you look like the rockstar that you are!
I'm always up for an adventure and I'm open to working with both individuals and groups, either
in NYC, nationwide, or worldwide - including tours.
Let's get this show on the road!

Photojournalism
For the past 2.5 years, I've been working as a Press Photographer based in New York City.
I'm an Editorial Contributing Photojournalist for the international press agency Sipa USA, with my images being distributed through the Associated Press, Reuters, and other newswires. I also am press credentialed through the Mayor's Office of Media & Entertainment (MoME).
I've covered a variety of news stories and local events, including parades, strikes, demonstrations, festivals, conventions, museums and art institutions, historical landmarks, red carpets, and other editorial assignments.
My proudest personal accomplishment as a photojournalist has been covering the historic 2023 WGA & SAG-AFTRA strikes in NYC, multiple times a week for nearly six months.
My goal is to provide strong images, and share these important news stories without bias.

Travel & Food
Ever since a young age, I've always loved exploring new
places and trying new foods.
As I've grown older, I've documented countless cuisines and landscapes, across the country and around the world.
From working as a Contributing Writer/Photographer for an established lifestyle blogger, to starting my own food & lifestyle blog and attending media events, to becoming a member of the Yelp Elite Squad and writing food reviews, to covering events as a member of the press, my passion for travel and food has taken me to many lovely places with delectable cuisines.
Whether you're looking for food or travel and outdoors coverage, I'm here to help you document the beautiful sights and dishes this world has to offer.
