The story of a photographer


The photo above is where my love for photography started. It was taken the day after my wedding. My whole vendor team got together again to restyle us and shoot atop the Pitons in St. Lucia because the day before was such a whirlwind. It made me realize how powerful photos are on a wedding day. That photo wound up getting published in a dozen websites and magazines even Cosmopolitan itself, Cosmo beside Taylor Swift, crazy right. You don't know when you look at this photo that it was raining, that it was the day after my wedding, or that our feet were on jagged rocks. Photographers can create magic in chaos, can create composition in the unknown, and I love creating depth in simplicity. I started shooting after I was introduced to this magic by Amber Phinisee (Joy & Everette Photography) in 2016. I wanted so much to be like her and other big instagram photogs when I first started not realizing I needed to find my own style, that took a few years. Now I can happily my own style captures moments of pure feelings and memories with depth, rich tones, and crisp light. I try to love people as Jesus does. Every light in this world is important and on your big day I will make every big and little moment count. My goal is to tell you story authentically during all of those important moments in life. Please reach out if you would like to make some magic.
