From behind the lens to beside you on the day that matters most.
I’m a photographer, storyteller, and quiet observer of the moments most people miss.. I pay attention to the the energy, and watch every detail.
My photography journey started in highschool with my dad's old Canon film camera at hand. I was experimenting with exposure and composition on the camera and in the darkroom. At 21 I saved up to buy my first DSLR.
Today I photograph elopements, portraits, and family sessions across Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
Before photography, I was always the person noticing the details nobody else saw — the way light falls across a table, the look someone gives right before they laugh, the quiet pause between two people who really know each other. When I picked up a camera, those details finally had somewhere to live.

My approach is slow on purpose. I pay attention to light — how it falls, where it wraps, what it does to a face. I edit with restraint, because a photo that looks like a photo today shouldn’t look like a filter in ten years.
I don’t arrive with a script or a shot list. I arrive with curiosity, patience, and a deep respect for the story unfolding in front of me. And I work collaboratively, because the best images come from people who feel like themselves — not people performing for a camera.
What you get is imagery that holds up. That you’ll still want on your wall in twenty years.
why I work the way I do
In high school I picked up my fathers old film camera to freeze things I couldn’t name yet — played in the dark room adjusting development times, played with cropping and started to ask friends to pose for me.
The first spark
I spent years going back and forth from hobby to dusting off my camera from the basement. I became eager to start learning natural light, composition, and what makes an image feel alive rather than arranged. I learned that the best photographs happen when people forget the camera is there.
Exploring before stepping in
I trained in natural light and continuous light photography and dove into storytelling, couple direction, and editorial portraiture. Now I’m expanding into strobe lighting — always learning, always pushing the work forward.
FINDING MY CRAFT
Today, my work lives at the intersection of documentary honesty and editorial beauty. I photograph elopements on Atlantic coastlines, family sessions in Ontario parks, and portraits that feel like coming home. Every session is a collaboration — your story, my eye, something real.
