I’ve been blessed to have the space to grow into a multifaceted photographer— shooting everything from fashion to weddings, and most notably, music! In my interview with REVOLT, we talked about my journey as a music photographer and the 40+ shows I’ve shot over the last few years. Intimate moments with artists, finessing into shows, and so much more...
You’re gonna wanna read this! 😁

FINALLY 😩 after so many weeks of planning, scouting, shooting, and editing.. my project is complete! I'm completely happy with how everything turned out. As an artist, it's not always easy to be satisfied with the work you've created because you know you can always do better, but this project is an accomplishment for me. It started as a small spark of an idea when I was looking for ways to make my work more unique, and before I knew it.. I had plans to turn that spark into a full blown series. Truthfully, I almost didn't wanna finish it. I couldn't really walk before or after my knee surgery and that really discouraged me at times, but I found the strength in myself and through my loved ones around me to get out of bed, grab my crutches/cane, and go shoot. 📸
There are 10 photos in the series. I'll be posting one of them per day on Instagram until they're all up. If you just can't wait, you can view the entire series on my website today at 1pm! 📲💻🖥
Thank you to everyone who continues to show love and support me. I really appreciate it! 🙏🏾😊❤️
