I'm a photographer with a background in Radio Television Journalism from Nova Scotia Community College, where I developed my passion for visual storytelling. I focus on portrait, fashion, and photojournalism, and I enjoy working with people to create natural, expressive images. I also model, which gives me insight into what it feels like to be in front of the camera and helps me guide others more comfortably.

Available on weekday afternoons, with weekend availability depending on timing. I offer private tutoring, portraits, events, weddings, and creative shoots, and I am open to a wide range of bookings and collaborations.
