I’m not a writer, but today I feel it’s important to try. Sharing my reasons for becoming a photographer and the heart behind my work feels necessary. So here’s my attempt at letting you in on what my soul wants to do for yours—because this isn’t just a business; it’s a soul business.
We live in a digital world, and I’m sure you’ve heard it before—maybe from your mom, a grandparent, or a partner who nags you about it. But it’s worth repeating: we’re constantly glued to our phones, iPads, and computers. They’ve become our go-to distraction, especially when we’re feeling lonely or bored. In the process, we’ve lost touch with something vital—genuine, human connection. And that loss has left us feeling more insecure than ever, unsure of how to connect with others and even with ourselves.
This is why I do what I do. Connection is at the heart of every photograph I take and it’s the driving force behind my work. For me, photography isn’t just about creating pretty pictures or preserving memories. It’s about capturing you—the real, authentic you. The version of yourself that may have been forgotten or overshadowed by the demands of daily life.
Life has a way of pulling us in many directions and in that whirlwind, it’s easy to lose touch with who we truly are. We get caught up in the noise whether it’s the stress of responsibilities, the endless comparisons brought on by social media, or the constant pressure to meat unrealistic expectations of how we should look, act or even feel. Over time, these pressures weigh us down, and that vibrant, confidant, unfiltered version ourselves starts to feel distant, even unfamiliar.
Through photography, my goal is to help you reconnect with that version of yourself. When you step in front of my camera, my focus isn’t on creating a flawless or heavily curated image. Instead, I aim to create a space where you can breathe, let go, and simply be. I want to show you the beauty, strength and authenticity that have always been there by may have been overlooked.
Every image I take is an invitation to see yourself in a new light a light that celebrates your story, your individuality and your worth. Because the truth is, you are so much more than the expectations placed on you or the comparisons you make on social media.
So if you’re reading this, likely on your phone, take a moment when you’re done. Set the phone down and connect with someone face to face. Listen to their words, feel their emotions, and experience the joy of simply being present. That’s what photography is for me—a celebration of connection, a reminder of the beauty of being truly seen.
