I never planned on becoming a photographer. While working as a Social Media Coordinator at my church, I picked up a camera for the first time. You might expect me to say something just clicked, but it actually didn’t. It wasn’t until later that I realized I was getting to relive the joy people experienced in church week after week. I loved looking back on moments of people gathering, worshiping, and simply enjoying each other’s presence. I also loved editing and shaping those captured moments into a cohesive story and visual style that reflected our community.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually doing something that fills me up, such as dancing, finding new non-toxic beauty favorites, or focusing on habits that keep me feeling good inside and out. I really believe that the way I care for myself reflects in how I show up to create and care for others.
