I’m a food and lifestyle photographer based in Virginia Beach who believes the best moments come when you least expect them. My work is rooted in connection — the way people gather, move, and share space — whether that’s around a table, on a wedding day, or in the middle of an ordinary afternoon with family.

I’d consider myself a food and brand photographer at heart, but I’ve been photographing weddings and families for the past 13 years and it comes pretty easy now. Let’s just say I’m a food photographer who moonlights as a lifestyle photographer — the same love for detail, mood, and story just with people at the center.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me cooking, traveling, or hosting one of my Makers Meals — a supper series that brings people together over food and conversation. I have a dream of one day running a shop filled with the best pantry staples, local produce, and tabletop items. And when it comes to setting the table, I can’t help myself. I’ll always go all in with linen napkins, perfect place settings, and a lineup of wine glasses. When you know how to set it right, you just can’t not.

At the heart of everything I do though, whether I’m capturing a family, a brand, or a perfectly styled food image is the belief that beauty lives in the details, and meaning lives in the moments you don’t plan.
