I’m the eye behind the lens and the heart behind Storyteller Collective Photo Co. I grew up in the era of scrunchies, mixtapes, and film cameras, which probably explains my love for all things nostalgic. For me, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures – it’s about preserving the kind of moments that feel like home: the soft glances, big laughs, quiet pauses, and messy in-betweens. I’m all about capturing emotion as it naturally unfolds, so when you look back at your photos years from now, you don’t just see the moment – you feel it.

My love for storytelling started in the ’90s with disposable cameras, journal entries, and home videos that captured more than just faces – they captured feelings. That passion grew into a way of documenting people just as they are, because I believe the best stories aren’t staged – they’re found in the in-between. I first picked up a film camera in high school, and it taught me to slow down, be intentional, and truly see what’s in front of me. That influence still shapes how I shoot today: with purpose, nostalgia, and a deep appreciation for the beauty in imperfections. This is more than a job to me – it’s a way to freeze time honestly, so your story can be remembered exactly as it felt.
