MY WHAT
I am a candid, documentary-style photographer, and I’ve been practicing photography since 2007. While I have some formal education in the genre, I am nearly exclusively self-taught.
With me, you can expect an unobtrusive professional who is dedicated to capturing your event with passion, integrity, and an eye for pure, real moments regardless of the venue or occasion.
But, what does that even mean? I only use flash when absolutely necessary but never when it’s inappropriate or distracting, such as in hearing rooms during delicate proceedings. Additionally, I will not* pose your guests because I believe that results in disingenuous photos. I strive to tell your event’s story in the truest possible way, which means capturing genuine human emotions during unstaged moments.
* This does not apply to pre-arranged shot lists (e.g., grip and grins)
MY WHY
I live with a lifelong disorder resulting from trauma and, from an artistic perspective, I’ve uncovered a through-line between my experiences and draw toward capturing pure emotion and raw life without interference. The “good” and the “bad.” The “mundane” and the “exciting.”
No moment will ever happen twice in the exact same way, and there is no guarantee we will see the same person or people again in the way they once were. Time is something we can never get back, so freezing it in real-time is our best option!
