Portrait & documentary Photographer

I photograph people the way I’d want to be seen: honestly, and with care. I’m  a self-taught photographer based in Washington, DC, with roots in Charleston, South Carolina. I shoot portraits, editorial, and events on both film and digital, and I’m drawn to the quiet, unscripted moments that make people feel like themselves.


My ongoing project, Voices of Charleston, pairs portraits of the city’s elders with their own stories, and that same care shows up in every session I shoot. I’m available for client sessions, creative campaigns, and collaborations near and far.

“I feel it is the heart, not the eye, that should determine the content of the photograph. What the eye sees is its own. What the heart can perceive is a very different matter.”

— GORDON PARKS

My work lives in unscripted moments: a laugh at a cookout, a hand resting on a cane, the pause before someone tells their story. This is a collection of the people and stories I’ve been trusted to photograph.
