I would describe myself as an animal lover, thrill seeker, and button pusher. I competed on AU's track & field team for 3 years and now I take photos and work at a bakery full time! I'm working to use my art to be a light in a world with so much darkness.
I find my inspiration through the stories of others. It is very important to encompass the emotions of my subjects, whether its through composition, lighting, or color. Similar to my interior design photography, I strive to capture the essence of the designer and the heart they poured into their project. My career is centered around weddings and portraits, in addition to real estate and interior design photography.
Looking back, what advice would you give yourself?
I would tell myself to be more intentional with the relationships around me and treasure my time at AU because it goes by so quickly and is easy to get caught up in stress of the future and dismiss the present.
