My path to photography wasn’t exactly linear. I studied film production at UT Austin, did Peace Corps Morocco, launched a sustainable fashion brand (Tailgate Theory), and worked in marketing strategy for climate tech startups. Along the way, I kept coming back to the same thing: capturing real moments for real people.

What I learned from all those different chapters is that the best work happens when you actually understand what people are trying to build. Whether that’s a business finding its voice, a creator growing their brand, or a family documenting their story. I get that you need great photos without the enterprise price tag. I know what it’s like to work on a timeline that actually matters. And I believe professional photography shouldn’t feel like an indulgence reserved for when you “make it.”

Now I work with small businesses testing their first brand shoots, influencers building their portfolios, and families who want more than awkward posed photos. If you’re in a growth stage—ready to invest in your image but need a photographer who won’t gatekeep your files or make you wait weeks for delivery.
