Frequently Asked Questions
What made you want to become a photographer?
As a child, I never considered photography as a career possibility, but as I begun learning digital cameras, I fell in love with the art. I love the idea of being around kids all the time and witnessing couples' love stories unfold. It's truly beautiful!
What is your favorite kind of session to shoot?
Each session steals my heart in a different way. I love interacting with children more than anything, but there is something about weddings that just steals my heart! I love beong a part of the greatest day of their lives.
How long have you been working with kids?
It's safe to say, I've been around kids my entire life! I've always been keen on having children trust me right off the bat. I make them feel safe and am not afraid to get goofy with them.
How long have you been into photography?
Photography has been my passion for quite some time now, even before I started doing this professionally. When I got my first camera, it's almost like a spark bursted within me and I instantly loved the idea of capturing life's moments with it. Since then, I've had a lot of practice to get to where I am today!
"The only person stopping you from living your life to the fullest is yourself. I strongly believe anyone can make their dreams a reality if they truly commit to it. Work hard and you'll turn that life long dream into your day-to-day life."

Now a little about my personal life...
Jennybeth
My Right hand & partner in crime!
As you may have guessed, my page is very LGBTQ+ inclusive given that I am a part of the community myself. Jennybeth and I are got engaged in London, England in October of 2023 and will be getting married in 2025! So yes, I am a wedding photographer also planning my own wedding at this time! You will often catch my fiancee at my sessions taking videos for Instagram or simply helping me out. She is the best support system and assistant there could be! I am so thankful to have her be so involved in my business! Don't be surprised if you catch her helping out during a session!
Everest & Aspen
The absolute light of my day!
These are my little love bugs, Everest & Aspen. Everest is a task-trained Siberian Husky service dog currently growing and undergoing a lot of training. She is calm, yet energetic and loves to play. Aspen is still a puppy that is a total cuddle buddy and will steal anyone's heart in a split second. Besides photography, they consume a great chunk of my life, but I wouldn't have it any other way! They're spoiled and love going on adventures with me on a weekly basis. Don't be surprised if you catch Everest at one of my sessions every now and then! In the meantime, I am enjoying watching them grow and treat them as if they were my own human babies!
I am a huge travel nerd!
Wish I could show them all,
