/biography

Growing up, if you'd have told me that my desire to always be the one behind

the camera during our family photos would have led me to a career of red carpets, magazine spreads, and advertising campaigns, I would have taken it

as a bit of a shock.

​

But, today, after starting my career as a freelance photographer almost 10 years ago, I've had the privilege of capturing life's greatest moments, whether that's

the union of a happy couple or a reality star's breakthrough into the

international spotlight.

​

I bring a level of fun, playfulness, and most importantly the skillsets that can only be learned from grinding hard through the management of the business while still delivering the highest of quality photos.

​

Currently, I've been living in the City of Brotherly Love - Philadelphia, Pa. - for ten years.​  When I'm not working, you'll often find me donating my time for LGBT related organizations and fundraisers.  I've also developed a passion for organizing various fundraisers myself, focusing on bringing the Philly community together.
