Meet The Artist Behind The Lens

the how and why

It all started with a $200 camera I found on Facebook Marketplace and a deep desire for a creative outlet. With no formal training...just a whole lot of curiosity and determination. I began teaching myself photography. In those early days, I photographed anyone and anything that would let me, slowly refining my eye and growing a business built on passion.

Photography has become more than just my job...it’s the way I stay present with my kids, a path to freedom, and a tool to show them what it looks like to build something meaningful from the ground up. I love connecting with clients, hearing their stories, and capturing moments that matter. I love the creative flexibility this career brings. I love how one day my office is my cozy basement studio, and the next it could be the Italian Alps. It's a dream I get to live, and one I don’t take for granted. 

Here is a little glimpse into what drives me.
