Photography has always been my way of capturing emotions and telling stories. My journey began with a Polaroid Land Camera, sparking a lifelong passion for preserving moments through the lens. While mostly self-taught, I immersed myself in the craft—learning the art of film development and print manipulation at the Visual Arts Center in Portsmouth, VA. This love for photography even led me to build a fully functional darkroom in my home, where I developed negatives and created prints for clients and art exhibitions.

As digital photography emerged, I embraced the transition, mastering Photoshop and digital image editing. My professional experience expanded while working for Lifetouch National School Studios, where I specialized in portrait photography, sports photography, and group photography. Beyond weddings, my nature and cityscape photography has been displayed in art galleries and sold at various art shows.
