A bit about me

Photography has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with a camera in hand, spending hours in the high school darkroom, later studying it in college, and eventually adding graphic design to sharpen my eye for colour, detail, and storytelling.


In 2014, I took the leap into full-time freelance photography, and since then I’ve photographed just about everything — portraits, families, weddings, branding shoots, retreats, even the odd cookbook. No matter what I’m shooting, my focus is the same: creating photos that feel honest, connected, and a little bit magical.


Clients often tell me I make shoots comfortable and fun, and my favourite part is that spark when someone sees their photo and thinks, wait, that’s really me? That moment of recognition — of seeing yourself in a way that feels true — is why I do this work.


I’m a nature lover at heart, happiest when I can escape the city for fresh air and golden light. I’m also a big-time dog person (my feed is basically 90% dogs). Those little joys keep me grounded and inspire the way I shoot: with patience, curiosity, and a love for real connection.


At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to make photos that don’t just look good, but feel like you — images you can return to years from now and still find yourself in.
