My work has been influenced by the portraiture of JOHN SINGER SARGENT, the artistry of the late designer ALEXANDER MCCQUEEN, and my time interning with renowned music photographer DANNY CLINCH. Each experience has refined my eye. More importantly, it has taught me that the best photographs aren't replicas of something you saw on Instagram. They're discovered through careful observation, thoughtful preparation, and a genuine appreciation for the story unfolding throughout the day.

When I'm not photographing weddings or traveling, I'm usually in the garden tending to my ever-growing SUCCULENT COLLECTION (which is THRIVING in Texas) or in the kitchen making a pot of collard greens that will make you like collard greens, even if you don't. Saturdays are almost always reserved for weddings, but on the rare occasion I have one free, you'll find me at an AIRSHOW or exploring the TEXAS HILL COUNTRY. I said goodbye to my sweet dog, Charlie, in 2025, and I still miss him every day. If I ever win the lottery, I'm buying a ranch in Texas, naming it after Charlie, and filling it with RESCUE DOGS.
