This site, like me, isn’t limited to a single direction or creative discipline
It started as a home base for my LLC, built to book freelance work and attract new clients. Part of it is a bare bones portfolio (here’s what I can shoot, design, create and direct). And part of it is me trying to show a career that’s evolved beyond just making things. What’s harder to show here is the work that doesn’t photograph well: building a brand and a team from the ground up, setting creative standards, managing expectations, balancing executive input with business goals, and making sure a lot of moving parts actually work together. As my role in the industry has grown over the past decade, I’ve shifted from being the one creating everything to trusting really talented people with the fun, portfolio-worthy stuff, while I focus on strategy, leadership, and keeping the bigger picture on track.
This site lives somewhere in between all of that, and honestly, that feels pretty accurate.
I’m available for freelance photography and graphic design work outside of my full-time role. With 10+ years in the industry, I focus on delivering polished, intentional work at fair, transparent rates—no shortcuts, no inflated pricing in a field that is over oversaturated and often over-priced. Hopefully I get the opportunity to get to know you and help with your project!

Massive music person (predominantly hip-hop/R&B). That annoying cliche “I listen to everything” yup. That’s really me.
Always down for music recs!

Sports enthusiast. Phew! Was worried after years in the industry, I’d lose my love for sports, but safe to say, I haven’t. One of the things I'm most thankful for is that my career has allowed me to stay involved in what I'm most passionate about.

Mental health advocate.
It matters.
How you treat others matters.
YOU matter.
You're stronger than you think.
Supporting women in sports isn't a statement. It's a practice.
To me, the best leaders put people first, not their position, not being in power. It's too rare that women in sports experience the opposite.
Most people will get where they are by "playing the game" and encouraging you to do the same.
People aren't pawns. How you treat them matters.
I care deeply about inclusion because there are still too few people making the conscious effort to create it. At Charlotte FC, I assembled Major League Soccer's first-ever all-female photography team to shoot the club’s inaugural match and home opener, and have continued hiring an all-female crew for every home opener from 2022 to date. My creative teams have been primarily women, alongside talented men, with the majority having diverse backgrounds and perspectives represented across the group. This approach is not about exclusion. It is about intention. I hire the most capable, driven, and collaborative people for the role, and I believe building strong teams means being thoughtful about considering everyone equally.
Supporting women in sports means doing more than saying the "right" things.
It means hiring them, paying them fairly, trusting them with responsibility, and making space for their voices. It means spending the time to mentor, advocate, and help open doors, whether that is a first opportunity or the next step in their career.
