my APPROACH
A BLEND OF artful guiding AND DOCUMENTARY STYLE — PERSONAL, EFFORTLESS, AND ENTIRELY YOU.
My photography approach focuses on capturing genuine moments with natural direction, ensuring a relaxed and fun experience. I love shooting during sunrises and sunsets, creating soft, warm, and glowy images, and am inspired by film colors and the magic created from those small, happy moments.
