I have always loved to tell stories

When I was a kid, I would tell my siblings long, elaborate stories about far-off lands and crazy mysteries. They would be hours long, and my siblings always got upset when I ended them (which I would always threaten to end them if they made me mad haha).

There was a time when I wasn't telling stories anymore. I grew up, and life got in the way. But in the last few years, I've rediscovered this storytelling passion. When I'm shooting, I think of each moment as a chapter from a book. 

As I edit and put together galleries, the way the day unfolded plays out in my mind. The little glances. The quick hand squeezes. The music. The energy. 

On the day, I move between director and ghost. Sometimes I step in to shape the frame, sometimes I fade back so you forget I’m there.

I prep with questionnaires that read more like Vogue interviews than forms, so by the time I show up, I already know your story, your vibe, your mood board of a life.

Photos fade. Cult classics don’t.
