Born in the close of the 20th century—1999—in the red-bricked heart of Birmingham, Alabama, my childhood was shaped within the four chalk-dusted walls of a gym, where I trained as a competitive gymnast, chasing medals and dreams across the country. When I wasn’t in the gym, I was buried in books, lost in the quiet world of academic pursuit.
Amid the discipline of my life, there were moments—small, golden ones—when time seemed to slow. On those rare breaks from the rhythms I knew all too well, I’d chase fireflies in the twilight hush or set off on family vacations, where I’d often sneak away with my dad’s camera, capturing the world in fragments: a ladybug on a windowsill, the sunlight spilling across our kitchen floor, the laughter of my family on some long-forgotten trail.
It was in those stolen, sacred moments that I first came to understand beauty—the quiet, unassuming kind that lives in the ordinary. And there, unknowingly, I fell in love—with art, with stillness, with humankind and the world captured through a lens.
Becoming an artist, though, was never the plan. I followed a more expected path, earning my degree in Biochemistry from Baylor University with the hope of becoming a doctor. But even as I walked that road, there was a quiet ache in me that seemed to know I was made for something different. That my life was meant to be poured out in love.
That path led me back—to art, to travel, to the beauty of storytelling through the lens. Though I still find myself with a love for sports and keeping my head in a book, a new life has emerged for me: one filled with adventure across the globe, a love for hosting dinner parties with my closest friends, and admiration of the golden glow with each passing sunset. For the past three years, it has been my deepest joy and greatest honor to document the love stories of so many remarkable souls. This work is more than a job—it is a piece of my heart and purpose, stitched into each photograph, each frame.
So from my heart to yours—thank you for being here. Thank you for letting me be a part of something so beautifully human.
xoxo

Bespoke Wedding Photography
My approach to wedding photography is driven by both a desire for excellent experience and exceptional documentation, in a style described as bespoke wedding photography. Bespoke refers to a specific style of luxury products and experiences that are set apart by being tailored to a customer’s exact needs and vision, as well as a custom-made process to creating these products. Bespoke weddings are considered one of the highest forms of luxury due to dedication of detail and care to artistry and fine-art focus, exclusively catering to individuals rather than being mass produced.
The reason I believe this is the best approach to wedding photography is because each couple, love, and celebration only has its own story to tell; and because of that, no wedding gallery should be the same. Rooted in truthful documentation and elevated artistry, this approach is dedicated to the tapestry of stories and beauty within love.
