I didn’t grow up wanting to become a photographer.
I grew up wanting to become everything.
I grew up wanting to become everything.
A jack of all trades and a master of none, I have always been an artist in one form or another. It began with dance classes as a toddler which turned into school plays which turned into choir. I crave creativity. I can paint, draw, design, and build. I can do just about any artistic hobby I try, but I haven’t ever stuck to any one thing. It was only within the last few years that I realized just how important art is to me, and I have made it my purpose to share this piece of me with the world.
Art has always found me when I have needed it the most. From serving in the military, getting married, and having children to weight-gain, religious trauma, and divorce, I’m in an interesting season of life where I find myself searching for calm and steadiness. I have become a more empathetic, introspective, and observant person, and I think this evolution within myself explains how I ended up becoming a photographer.
Photography is not just a creative outlet for me but a way to reconnect with myself. It gives me space to process, connect, and heal my inner child. It forces me to look outside of myself, to be intuitive and deliberate. I am very much drawn to the emotional weight of ordinary places. I see the little nuances that go unnoticed by others, and those small, unexpected blips in the ordinary are what I find so beautiful.
My work is the lens through which I see the world. I hope you find something meaningful in it. Thank you so much for being here.
