2025

I’m a Houston-based fine art documentary photographer with a background in music education and a deep respect for the human body — not just how it looks, but how it carries effort, history, emotion, and change.

In 2023, after surviving colorectal cancer, my relationship with time shifted. I became more attentive to presence, embodiment, and the quiet moments where people are becoming something new. That awareness is what ultimately led me to photography.

Before stepping fully behind the camera, I spent time modeling and creating content myself. Those experiences shaped my understanding of posing, movement, physicality, and what it actually feels like to be seen by a camera. Today, that perspective allows me to guide clients in a way that feels collaborative, grounded, and emotionally safe, especially in spaces that require trust and vulnerability.

My foundation is in fitness and boudoir photography, where strength and intimacy often exist side by side. Over time, my work expanded into weddings, editorial portraiture, couples photography, concerts, and behind-the-scenes documentation throughout Houston and beyond. No matter the subject, I approach every session through a fine art documentary lens focused on honest emotion, cinematic atmosphere, and intentional storytelling.

I’m drawn to moments that feel unperformed: quiet confidence, emotional in-betweens, bodies in transition, and the small gestures that often say the most. Whether I’m photographing a wedding day, an intimate boudoir session, a fitness transformation, or an editorial concept, my goal is never just to create beautiful images, but to create photographs that feel lived in, emotionally honest, and deeply human.

My work has recently received recognition through a special feature publication with DOCU Magazine, where an entire edition was dedicated to my imagery and artistic approach. Two of my photographs were also featured in a recent exhibition at Monad Gallery, an experience that felt especially meaningful to me as someone who deeply values photography not just as content, but as physical art capable of existing beyond a screen. Seeing my work displayed in a gallery space reminded me why I’m so drawn to creating imagery that feels emotional, immersive, and lasting.

I approach photography much like music: not as isolated genres, but as variations of the same emotional language. Every session has its own rhythm, energy, and emotional texture, and I aim to document it in a way that feels both artistic and true to the people within it.

I am proudly LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for every person I photograph.

If you’re looking for a Houston photographer whose work feels cinematic, grounded, and emotionally honest, I’d love to connect.

Here's a quick rundown of how I came to looking through a lens!

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I approach photography as an act of observation rather than performance. I’m drawn to moments that unfold naturally: the quiet pauses, the in-between gestures, the ways bodies hold emotion, effort, and change. Whether I’m photographing a wedding, an intimate personal session, or an editorial environment, I work with restraint and intention, allowing moments to breathe instead of forcing them into perfection.

My background in music influences how I see. I think in rhythm, contrast, and silence in tension and release. Not every moment needs to be loud to be meaningful. I often find that what’s most powerful happens just before or just after the obvious moment, when people are less guarded and more themselves.

Across every genre I photograph, my goal remains the same: to create images that feel honest, grounded, and human. I’m less interested in spectacle than in presence, rather in documenting bodies in transition and people at the edge of change. The result is work that prioritizes emotional truth over polish, and intimacy without performance.
