- Welcome To My Journey -
Welcome to my dream.
Let me start by saying that capturing the essence of a person through photography has been an incredible journey for me. Over the past decade, I've explored various realms of this art form, but it was only recently that I truly discovered my passion for photographing people. There's something magical about showing individuals the beauty that the world sees in them every day—something they may not always recognize themselves. Witnessing the joy on their faces when they see their images for the first time and exclaim, "Is that really me?" is a priceless reward that never fails to warm my heart.
I believe that making people feel good is not just a job but a purpose—a purpose that stems from my own personal journey. Like many, I've faced my fair share of struggles, and it is through these experiences that my drive to bring happiness to others has grown. It's why I emphasize self-care and mental health in both my life and my work. I see myself not just as a photographer, but as a constant support for my friends and clients, fostering an environment of comfort, acceptance, and understanding.
While I'm passionate about photography, there's more to me than meets the eye. At 31 years old, I've recently made a move back to my hometown of Richmond, Virginia after spending several years in the beautiful state of Washington. Animals hold a special place in my heart, and for over a decade, I've dedicated myself to animal rescue work. Additionally, for the past 13 years, I've been a professional dog groomer, finding fulfillment in caring for our four-legged friends. However, my true passion lies in advocating for mental health, a cause that fuels my desire to make a positive impact in people's lives.
I want you to know that when you choose me as your photographer, you're not just hiring someone to take pictures; you're inviting a friend who genuinely cares about your well-being. Together, we'll create an experience that captures your true essence and celebrates the unique individual that you are.
So, let's embark on this journey together, where I'll use my lens to showcase the beauty within you and provide you with images that evoke joy, confidence, and self-love. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or simply to say hello. I can't wait to meet you and be a part of your story.
Looking forward to hearing from you and capturing your memories!
