As an artist from St. Louis, Missouri, I am inspired by the vibrant and ever-evolving communities that surround me. My journey began with a desire to find meaning in life, which led me to document the people and places that have shaped my perspective. Photography became my way of stopping time—a means of creating value not just for my clients, but also for myself.
Over seven years of experience working with commercial and personal clients as a freelance photographer taught me to adapt to any situation, overcome obstacles, and connect with people from all walks of life. This journey has shaped me into an artist committed to creating work that feels true to both my vision and my clients’ stories. My focus is on crafting authentic, timeless images that preserve memories and reflect the unique narratives of those I photograph.
Recognizing that I wanted to grow beyond the role of a professional photographer, I returned to school to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Photography. My time at Columbia College transformed my approach, providing me with a deeper understanding of the foundations of art and refining my perspective as a creator. Graduating in 2024, I leave with gratitude for the people and experiences that have shaped my artistry, ready to continue my quest to tell the stories of life through a fresh lens.
