Getting to Know Me: My Journey in Photography

May 10th, 2025

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m a photographer based in sunny Tampa, Florida—and while my life is filled with cameras, lenses, and golden hour light, there’s a lot more to my story.

When I’m not photographing beautiful weddings or soulful portraits, you’ll probably find me elbow-deep in a DIY project, covered in paint, or singing my heart out at a concert. (Yes, my ears still ring for days afterward, and honestly? Worth it every time.)

 

My photography journey started back in 2008 at Warped Tour. I was that kid with a camera dreaming of being a heavy metal tour photographer, chasing the raw, unfiltered chaos of live shows. But life had other plans. I ended up in physical therapy school—and somewhere between anatomy textbooks and clinical hours, I fell head-over-heels for portrait photography. There’s just something about capturing someone’s story in a single frame that hooked me.

 

Over time, I traded the mosh pit for golden light, and I haven’t looked back. Living in Tampa has only deepened that love. The people, the palm trees, the light—it’s all a dream for someone who thrives on connection and creativity.

 

For me, photography isn’t about stiff poses or picture-perfect smiles. It’s about emotion. Energy. The little in-between moments that say everything. I’m all about telling your story in a way that feels honest, effortless, and uniquely you.

 

It’s been over a decade since I picked up my first camera, and my heart is still in it—probably more than ever. Every shoot is a new chance to connect, create, and make something meaningful. That’s what lights me up.

 

Thanks for stopping by and getting to know me a little better. Whether you're here for wedding inspo, a portrait session, or just vibing with my work—I’m truly grateful you're part of the journey.
