I am a self-taught photographer specializing in custom lifestyle photography. I capture lots of love (weddings and elopements), candid family moments, and some bangin' brands too! When it comes to photography my goal is to convey a sense of place, personality, and most of all the essence of a moment! I love the Sunday mornings of life and believe that everything God has made is beautiful! I'm here to capture all the beauty God creates along with those authentic and genuine connections! Oh, and I love to laugh (that deep belly laugh). So, when you're around me get ready to giggle a little...or a lot too!
What Does Black History Month Mean To You This Year?
Black History Month is all about the celebration of a culture and triumph for me. I'm black and proud 365 and I'm proud of my heritage and flavor each and every day. I celebrate who I am each day, but as we all know, America is built on the backs, blood, sweat, and tears of African slaves and for years that went unrecognized. So, for a month to be dedicated to acknowledging our contribution to the US and the world it means a lot to me.
The image above by James Karales, Selma-to-Montgomery March for Voting Rights in 1965, 1965. This image inspires me because there is so much power in one candid shot. This one image is a complete story in itself. So much hope and power in one shot.
Where Are You Finding Inspiration To Design This Year?
This shot is one of my personal faves! Black girl magic is oozing out of this image.
I find my inspiration in everyday life and authentic human connection. So far this year, I’ve been really inspired by the flow of dance. I love the flow and connection in dancing.
