I discovered my calling in capturing the genuine beauty and comfort of seniors and families in photographs.

As a photographer, I've found my true purpose in celebrating the richness of life by focusing my lens on seniors and families. My journey began with a deep appreciation for the transient beauty of our existence, inspiring me to capture the genuine essence and spirit of each individual I photograph. This mission is not just about taking pictures; it's about uncovering the real beauty that lies within each moment and memory, and preserving it for generations to come.

Experiencing the profound impact of my work has been incredibly rewarding. It has allowed me to witness the transformative effect that a single photograph can have on someone's confidence and sense of self-worth. As an Enneagram 9w1 and a Hufflepuff at heart, my ultimate satisfaction comes from being a positive force in someone's life, helping to highlight their best moments and contributing to their legacy. There's a unique joy in seeing the people I photograph come alive in front of my camera, knowing that I've played a part in crafting their narratives for the future.
