THROUGH MY LENS
PORTRAIT, EVENT AND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Capturing life’s fleeting moments and turning them into lasting memories is what drives me as a photographer. Whether it’s the beauty of nature, the emotions of a special event, or the small details that often go unnoticed, I strive to create images that tell a story and evoke emotion. Every click of the shutter is an opportunity to see the world in a new way, and I am grateful to be able to share that perspective through my lens. ~ DON
A BELIEVER,
WIFE AND MOTHER OF 3.
I BELIEVE OUR MIND AND BODY ARE AN EXPRESSION OF GODS CREATIVITY FOR US AND HOW WE EXPRESS OUR CREATIVITY IS AN EXTENSION OF WHO WE ARE.
I believe that every person has a unique story to tell, and it’s the subtle nuances—the laughter, the glances, the little gestures—that truly capture the essence of who you are. I strive to unveil the beauty in each moment, creating imagery that resonates with emotion and authenticity. I strive to highlight the beauty that makes you uniquely you.
A STORY LIVED IS A STORY TOLD
This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.
It's only natural to be a little nervous. So, before the photoshoot we will be in touch and you can share your thoughts and ideas. This is your journey and we are here to emphasize those details that light up your soul.

Standard editing includes: minor blemish removal, skin smoothing, color and lighting correction, the removal of distracting objects (when the photographer deems necessary and feasible to accomplish with standard editing tools).
