The work

A few sessions I'm proud of

Engagements, dogs, quiet afternoons by the water, and businesses at work. Look around. If something here feels like what you're after, I'd love to hear about it.

Portraits

People, as they actually are

Seniors, milestones, golden hour, or no occasion at all: portrait sessions built around who you are, not a pose list. These are recent favorites.

Pets

Pet portraits

No commands, no stress. We work at your pet's pace and photograph the exact goofball you know at home. Featuring Nova, Moops, and Reilly.

Weddings & engagements

The in-between moments are the ones you'll keep coming back to: a look, a laugh, a quiet second by the water. I keep my wedding calendar deliberately small so I can be fully present for each one.

Events & community

Crossover Mission

Event coverage for Crossover Mission, a nonprofit in Vero Beach, Florida that pairs youth basketball with academic mentorship. Work like this is why I photograph events: real energy, real stakes, and a story worth telling well.

Business & brand

Salty Chief K9

Brand photography for Jay of Salty Chief K9, a professional dog handler, with the whole pack on set. Business work like this does double duty: it shows what your company actually does. And yes, the dogs cooperated better than most humans.
