My editorial work is an extension of my lifelong love of storytelling - through images, words, and the details that make up a life. Photography has always been my language, born out of loss but rooted in connection. When I was very young, my mother passed away suddenly. She and my father had shared a deep love for photography, and together they filled countless rolls of film, developing them in the darkroom my father built in our home. After she was gone, I pored over those black-and-white photographs of her, learning who she was through the images she left behind. That experience imprinted on me the power of a single photograph to hold memory, emotion, and story.

That idea has guided everything I do - whether I’m photographing weddings, families, portraits, or food. My philosophy is simple: I want my work to feel alive, to carry a sense of joy, color, light, and presence. I’m drawn to pattern, organized clutter, and those unscripted moments that tell the truth of a person, a place, or a meal. My goal is always the same - to make photographs that immediately transport you into the world of the image.

Over time, my work has expanded into editorial photography and freelance writing, exploring my passions for food, design, fashion, and fascinating people. This curiosity and commitment to storytelling also led me to create Bonus Days Magazine, a national print magazine that shares stories of resilience, gratitude, and the beauty of life after hardship. Both my photography and my writing are connected by the same thread: a desire to capture what it means to live fully, with all the layers, colors, and moments in between.
