THE STORY OF A PHOTOGRAPHER


I am a photographer in my twenties with a love for artistic composition and an eye for beauty in all aspects of life. I find purpose in leading a life of service, helping others, and capturing unique & special moments along the way.

I think of myself as a photojournalist, drawn to documentary-style photography with a cinematic touch. Every photo I take is meant to be a visual statement—one that speaks deeply, evokes feeling, and pauses time.

I’m inspired by raw emotion, human connection, intimate moments, and the romance of Italian culture.  My muse is found in minimalism, urban cities, architecture, movement, vulnerability, farm life, earthy tones, blue hour, and the aesthetics of the 1950s through the 1990s. Inspiration surrounds me from all directions.

This is Ryan !

We’ve been together for over five years now, and he’s been one of my biggest supporters from the very beginning. You’ll often find him right beside me at weddings, tagging along as my second shooter—he’s pretty amazing at keeping my head on straight during the busy day!

Together, we share life with our three pups: Cinder, Stark, and Ghost. Ghost is our gentle giant (a Great Pyrenees), Stark is our spunky Australian Shepherd mix, and Cinder is our thoughtful Anatolian/Border Collie mix. They keep our lives full of chaos and muddy paws but we love them still!

PERSONAL LIFE


Outside of work..

I enjoy reading, picking up a new hobby, working out, binging a favorites tv series or movie. My family is one of the most important aspects of my life. I’m a proud Aunt KiKi to three beautiful nieces who light up my world. Mission work in Honduras has also shaped my heart in the most insurmountable way. I’ve fallen in love with the people, the language, and the culture—it’s a place that continues to leave a lasting imprint on my life.

Journey


How I found photography?

I have my daddy to thank for leading me to this path. He was the happiest soul, selfless, with a mission to serve anyone in need. Wherever he went, he brought laughter and light. We lost him a few years ago unexpectedly. After his death, I struggled to find my purpose. I had nothing to pull me from the sadness of loss. But when I thought about what made me happiest, I kept coming back to what made him so special—bringing joy to others. Finding photography gave me something to pour into, something that felt healing. And most of all, it gave me a way to keep sharing light with others—just like he always did.
