  I capture bright and bold imagery, focusing on the small and special moments in life. Photography has always been a passion of mine but it wasn't until the pandemic that I realized that life is WAY too short to wait to do the things you love. So, I jumped in and I have absolutely loved the opportunity to meet new people and capture their small and special moments.
