It takes me a minute to come out of my shell, so I totally understand how awkward it can feel to stand in front of someone taking my photo. But the vulnerability required to be your true self in front of other people is the kind of authenticity that I want in my life.

For me, real connection happens in the middle of everyday life. Whether that’s moments at home, in the middle of a Target run, or the milestones we mark life with, there’s beauty in the ordinary.

My desire is to capture these raw and honest moments through a mixed style of documentary and lifestyle photography.

Becoming a photographer has given me the opportunity to do something I deeply love and push myself out of my shell in a way that brings life and genuine connection with other people.
