    My Photography Story is Still Being Written…And You’re Helping Me With It…

    Chapter 1 begins like many photographers do – shooting landscapes. Beautiful and captivating, everywhere I traveled I would try to capture a landscape scene that was uniquely different. In fact, I tended to gravitate toward astrophotography (galaxy stars) because of the mystery the camera lens is able to capture that the human eye cannot.

  • the journey:

    Then, several chapters into the story, I was visiting Bali just as the world was opening up after Covid when I was exploring the grounds of a temple and came across a beautiful elderly temple worker. Her eyes and face told her story without any words coming out of her mouth. I quickly asked for permission to capture her essence and shot away. I’m quite certain I was the best thing to happen to her all day. She was overjoyed with my interest in her story, and I was appreciative that she let me take it home through my photography. It was this experience where I turned my back to landscapes and pursued my new interest in capturing the human spirit – the celebration of life, the celebration of ourselves. I’ve never looked back!

  • the present moment:

    The current chapter of this story has been in the works for some time now – attending workshops, receiving critiques from other photographers, and most importantly experimenting on my own. I try to incorporate an artistic element in every shot I take. My camera lens has gravitated toward portraiture & fitness, boudoir for women and men, and even a safe space where I invite singles and couples to explore their sensual and vulnerable side all without judgment or shame. The latter gives rise to artistic nudes and what I have affectionately called Boudoir After Dark. Some clients find photoshoots celebratory while others find it therapeutic. I’m here for it all - to help guide you through the process and capture you as the best you possible!
