photography is the pause button of life

You know when you see an old photograph of yourself and you suddenly remember that moment, the way you felt, the smell, how things sounded as the shutter clicked and for a second, you got to travel in time to relive a moment that had escaped your memory?  That’s how I want your photos to feel - immediately nostalgic. A way for you to time travel to your favorite parts of your life’s story, the simple, the grand + everything in between.  My approach is simple, be yourself, do what you love, think of me as a friend + we will create fine art from your life’s authentic moments.
