My connection to photography didn’t start in a classroom — it began during my time in the military. I first picked up a camera to capture fleeting, human moments in high-pressure environments. After leaving service, photography became something more than a creative outlet. It gave me space to reconnect, to slow down, and to see people with clarity and purpose. It became a way to listen without words and observe without judgement — something I never expected, but now rely on completely.

I don’t believe in rushed moments or forced smiles. My approach to portraiture is grounded in patience and presence. Whether it’s in a quiet corner of a home, out on location, or in a studio setting, I focus on connection first. Every shoot is an opportunity to create space for people to simply be — no pressure, no pretence — just an honest reflection of who they are in that moment.

For me, photography isn’t just about what someone looks like — it’s about what they carry with them. The moments between poses. A flicker of thought, a half-smile, the way someone rests their hands. That’s where the truth is. And that’s what I aim to capture. Not perfection, not performance — but something real, something human.

Whether you’re here looking for a portrait session or just exploring my work, I’m glad you’ve arrived. My photography is shaped by character, depth, and story — not trends. I want people to feel seen when they look at their photos. If that speaks to you, then we’re already on the same page. Let’s create something that lingers — something you can feel as much as see.
