2025

Becoming

2025 was a year of expansion and re-rooting.
For the first time, I began photographing people outside of my immediate circle — being trusted, hired, and welcomed into meaningful moments by strangers who chose my work and my perspective. That trust marked a turning point.

This year also brought a major shift in place and pace. I left South Florida and started over somewhere new. New friendships, new environments, and no familiar foundation to lean on. I rebuilt from the ground up — creatively, professionally, and personally.

I experimented with light, direction, and rhythm, learning how to guide people in a way that felt natural and calm. I began to understand not just how I photograph, but why. My style stopped being something I was searching for and started becoming something I recognized.

This was the year I learned to trust my eye, my instincts, and my ability to create something meaningful even in unfamiliar spaces.
