From developing black and white images in the darkroom to capturing day-to-day happenings as photo manager of the high school yearbook, my camera became an extension of me.

I’ve had a thriving career at UVA Medical Center for the past five years and witnessed firsthand both the value and fragility of human life.

I strive to capture not just an image, but the profound feeling of the moment.

I look forward to the wonderful opportunity to document your personal story with sincerity, creativity, and artistry, ensuring that your memories are beautifully preserved.

At the heart of my process, I believe in being a calming presence who gives you room to be the most genuine version of yourself in front of my camera, gently guiding you with prompts while capturing sophisticated portraits and true moments.

So rather than worrying if you’re missing any of it you value being present, and will hire a photographer who will allow you to do just that. This trust grants you the ability to live in the moment while we’re documenting them for you telling the story of your relationships with a gentle authenticity.
