Hello There

 i have always had a passion for Photography since I was a child. From using an old digital Camera when I was 5 all the way to high school, where I honed my craft.

What makes my photography special is capturing raw emotion. To me the best photos are the ones that trigger emotive response. I make my couples feel comfortable so that those happy moments can be captured forever.

My life was turned upside down in 2024 when I woke up one day not being able to feel part of my face. This led to me being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the age of 21.

At this moment my life changed forever. I started to view the world from a whole new lens. The things I poured so much time into such as work and university were causing more stress than happiness.

I decided to dedicate my time to pursuing happiness. Photography, once my escape from the stress of daily life is now my career.

Now, photographing people's special moments brings me that happiness and fulfillment and I would be honoured to photograph yours.

Why Photography?
