The moment it all clicked was when my son was born.Instead of spending money on something frivolous, I invested in a camera. Because I couldn’t look him in the eye someday and tell him to chase his dreams — if I wasn’t out here chasing mine.”

So I got back to it. Studied the light. Studied the craft. Really got back to it.

Now I'm based in Washington DC, shooting weddings, portraits, and commercial campaigns for clients like Google, Uber, and Essence Magazine. I've won the One Eyeland Award in wedding and fashion photography. My work has been published internationally in Vigor Magazine and Top Posters. Corporate buildings across DC have trusted me to capture their people — year after year.

But what I hear most from clients isn't about the awards.

It's that they don't feel rushed. That my energy kept the nervous bride calm on her wedding morning. That we take our time and the pictures show it. That's the work I'm most proud of.

My style is documentary meets cinematic. I'm not staging moments — I'm finding them. The right angle, the right light, the expression that's uniquely yours.

If you're ready to work with someone who shows up fully — camera, eye, and energy — let's talk.
