My philosophy

Moments over Poses.

To me, ‘candid’ and ‘editorial’ aren’t just buzzwords. They’re the pillars of my belief. I believe in editorial because I believe everyone wants to feel comfortable and directed while in front of the camera. I believe in candid because I believe that the true essence of your days lies in the moments where you aren’t thinking about the photos. That the true story of your day is in between takes. As an artist, traveler, and wedding photographer for more than ten years, I’ve trained myself to be aware of all those things. Those fleeting moments that exist for only a second, but whose depth echoes for the rest of your life.
