Not everything I shoot fits neatly into studio portraits or headshots and honestly, that’s what keeps it fun. This is where I share the other side of my work: cozy studio sessions that break the mold, on-location shoots, family stories, events, and bigger creative projects that deserve their own space. Think of this as a behind-the-scenes journal for all the shoots that don’t quite live on my homepage, but totally should.
