Since I can remember I've been a giver. And Im always finding ways to bring value to others.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. I come from generations of photographers and have always had a keen eye for seeing details. Which is why I fell into the beauty industry. Im a Barber Stylist by trade and I picked up the camera through taking pictures of my clients haircuts. I found joy through making my clients look good and capturing that moment with a picture and a smile. Slowly but surely I realized how valuable a frozen moment was. And not only in the present but in the future. I would look back on old pictures of my client and some I would see the journey from kid going to middle school to a man going to college.. and seeing the growth and how it made me feel through the process. I genuinely enjoy capturing once in a life time moments so that not only me but my clients can look back on for a lifetime . Weather it's taking a picture of my daughter and wife on our family zoo trip. Or a grandmother crying with joy watching her granddaughter walking down the aisle. my heart lives for those moments. And I look forward to seeing and capturing those moments so that you as my client and future lifelong friend can look back on those precious memories and relive them for lifetime. Because every moment deserves a crown.
