Creating Images that Compel People to Connect with You and Your Business

Creative Photography

I am a photographer, speaker and artist who believes in the power of stories. In all that I do, I'm always seeking to tell a story that creates connections.

I want to create images that get you closer to what you want and, at the same time, tell your unique story. I believe that people are exceptional and that it is my responsibility to deliver their stories in the most beautiful way possible.

You and your story matter to the world and it would be my privilege to support you in telling it.

... And More

While building my photography business, I saw an opportunity to create connections in a different way. I was inspired to produce interactive, design thinking-based, art exhibits — my pop up art exhibits are designed around themes meant to trigger conversations and civic action. From there, I decided to connect my performance background with my arts, education, and business pursuits to become a professional speaker. The journey I am on is a dream come true.

It’s not just about photos. It is who I am, the story I want to tell the world and what I want to leave in the world. It’s not just a picture.

Keynote Speaker

I have found inspiration in the stories of other mixed race and mixed heritage artists. They capture the essence of complicated human experiences and make them accessible through their beautiful and candid writing. I hope to achieve the same in my artistic expressions.
