What Photography Means to Me

You know that one photo? That you absolutely adore and use for all your backgrounds, frames, and profile pictures? What feelings does it invoke for you? Does it take you back to that exact moment and what you are feeling? It does for me. It makes my memories come alive.

I think photography is literally the coolest thing in the world. Seriously—freezing a split-second moment that you’ll never get back? And then being able to revisit it for the rest of your life? That’s actual magic to me. I didn’t fall in love with photography because of the gear or the trends—I fell in love with it because of what it gives people: a piece of their story, held still in time.

The best sessions are the ones where my clients say, “I’ve never felt so beautiful,” or “I didn’t even know I looked like that.” That’s when I know I did more than take a pretty photo—I helped them see themselves. There’s something incredibly powerful about being seen through someone else’s eyes. Photography lets me show people the beauty, joy, strength, and love that I see in them—even when they don’t always see it themselves.

I am so thankful for photography. It has breathed new life into me, lit a fire in my heart. I am so incredibly devoted to it. It has helped me grow as a person, made me the coolest friends, and it gave me purpose.

Photography is my art, my passion, and my way of helping people hold onto what matters most. If you want photos that make you feel something every time you look at them—photos that make your memories come alive—I’d be honored to tell your story.
