At the heart of everything I do is a passion for storytelling. While I’ve always been passionate about capturing real love stories, my work has evolved into something broader: documenting meaningful moments, compelling spaces, and the quiet beauty found in everyday connection. I feel drawn to what makes people and places feel alive.

Creativity has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. In school, you’d find me drawing, doodling, crafting little paper boxes (for pencil shavings, of all things), or taking endless photos and videos—long before social media was even a thing. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, followed by an Associate’s degree in Filmmaking, and I’ve been inseparable from cameras ever since.

My approach is relaxed, observant and intentional. Whether it’s a fast-paced shoot day or a calm behind-the-scenes moment, I aim to create an environment where people feel at ease — and where stories can unfold naturally. I genuinely love what I do, and that joy finds its way into every project.
