It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

Henry David Thoreau

I want to capture the world as I see it, not how it wants to be seen. To that end, I prefer candids and landscapes, and animals are my favorite subjects. I enjoy working with natural light and stick to an organic color palette. Much of my visual inspiration stems from films, particularly those that pay special attention to environment.

I alternate between a Nikon Z7II, Nikon F4 and an iPhone 14 Pro. At William & Mary, I was the Photo Director for Spoon University and a staff photographer for Vinyl Tap. During my semester abroad, I was selected to be a Student Photographer for DIS Copenhagen. Recently, I was the Head of Photography & Video for Varsity before progressing to Visual Editor. Now, I work as a freelance wedding, portrait, event and gig photographer, as well as a general assistant/second shooter.

On Instagram, several accounts have featured my photos, including @afarmedia, @longwoodgardens, @terraincafe, @copenhagenexplore, @camdiary, @cambridgelittlegems, @fitzbillies, @disabroad and @iloveocnj, among others.

I’ve worked with a range of clients in a variety of settings, including but not limited to graduation portraits, professional headshots and live events like gigs and sport.
