My Story
I found product photography after the COVID year of 2020 completely changed my life. I was on the trajectory to work in Project Management and climb the corporate ladder when I graduated college that same year. While the job was stable and high-paying, the year the world shut down altered my perspective dramatically. I was forced to slowed down. I surrendered, alongside everyone else, to the uncertainty. I reinvested my time in people, and building relationships. And I saw for the first time as an adult, on the other side of stressful, corrosive workloads, there is more joy, ease, and a renewed sense of creativity.
It wasn't long before I realized that I wanted to spend more of my time loving my life and less time pursuing things that didn't inspire me. I spent most of my free hours from then on trying on different hobbies, and different careers, before I ultimately found food Product Photography. Within a few months of learning everything I could about this industry and skill, I knew it was different. It was one of the only things I could do endlessly without watching the clock pass or wishing for another moment. It was and is fun, and ultimately I believe that the output of my work represents the way I feel when I shoot and edit.
It's been an incredible journey to get here, to this page, in front of you. And I hope sharing a little bit about myself instills great confidence that the work I create for your brand is inspired, fun, and full of purpose.
