Butterflies slicing holes in my gut

I’m not a brooding artist. Being a photographer isn’t a burden — it’s a gift. I don't shoot weddings to make art for myself. I don’t show up and get creative to fill my own cup. I’m a wedding photographer because I have a gift that allows me to share an outsider’s perspective on the happiest day of two people's lives. Showing two madly in love people what their love looks like from the outside gives my life meaning. They get to see how beautiful love really looks on them, and that is pure fucking magic.

I want to create space for the outcasts, the ones who color outside the lines, and couples that are too punk rock to be radio friendly. I empower my couples to be truthful and intentional with their love story while I help protect their boundaries and immortalize their secret moments.

What I value:

Science
LGBTQIA+ Love
Black & Brown Lives
Equal Human Rights
Kindness

the loves of my life...
