Growing up with a dad who’s a photographer, I was surrounded by cameras and creativity from a young age, which naturally sparked my own love for photography. From early on I found myself capturing moments of friends at football games, cheerleaders in mid-cheer, and candid scenes at camp, learning how to freeze emotion and energy in a single shot. Over the years, I expanded my skills by photographing sorority and fraternity events, and I’ve also taken family portraits, graduation photos, and maternity sessions — each teaching me something new about timing, composition, and connecting with my subjects. These experiences have helped me develop not just technical ability but also a deeper appreciation for the stories behind every picture I take.
