With over a decade of professional photography experience, I bring a well-rounded and practical approach to both creating images and teaching others how to do the same. My work spans multiple genres, from capturing the quiet beauty of natural landscapes to photographing fast-paced sports action from the sidelines. This range has allowed me to develop strong technical skills, adaptability, and a deep understanding of light, timing, and storytelling.
I am trusted by clients across these genres and currently serve as the official photographer for the semi-pro women’s basketball team, Virginia Vitesse. In addition to my commercial and sports work, my nature photography has earned numerous awards and has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and other publications. These recognitions reflect not only artistic vision, but consistency, attention to detail, and professionalism.
Beyond my work behind the camera, I am a leader with a strong background in teaching and mentoring. I enjoy helping photographers understand not just the how, but the why behind each decision. My teaching style is clear, supportive, and rooted in real-world experience. I focus on practical techniques that can be applied immediately, whether you are refining your technical skills, learning to work in changing conditions, or building confidence in your creative voice.
My goal as an instructor is to create an encouraging learning environment where photographers feel supported, challenged, and inspired to grow. Whether you are just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, I am committed to helping you move forward with intention and clarity.
