I am a portrait photographer and multi-disciplinary artist based in Las Vegas, Nevada, originally from Queens, New York. My creative foundation is rooted in ballet and theatre — years of performing arts training that gave me an intuitive understanding of movement, emotion, and the human body in space.
Like many artists, my path has not been linear. After years of pursuing my creative practice, I stepped away from photography for nearly a decade following the loss of both of my parents. Grief has a way of quieting the parts of us that feel most alive, and for a time, the camera stayed down. It was the desire to create again; to find meaning, beauty, and connection in the world after profound loss that brought me back. Picking up the camera again was an act of healing, and that experience fundamentally deepened my understanding of what portraiture can do. I am coming back not just as a photographer, but as someone who understands, personally, what it means to need to be seen and to find yourself again through art.
That return has been nothing short of transformative. My practice now centers on the transformative power of representation — the belief that when people see themselves reflected in art fully, beautifully, and truthfully, it becomes an act of reclamation. Much of my portraiture focuses on Black and Brown communities; however, my specialty is portraiture that is intimate, character-driven, and grounded in the belief that every person carries a story worth telling. My own story has taught me that it is never too late to rise, create, and reclaim your voice. That conviction lives in every image I take.
