this is me

this is me. bare feet in my favourite old blue jeans now too full of holes to wear in public.

I photograph you, your families, the people that make up your life. I make art out of the little moments and i’m obsessed with finding those.

i love people, and this work at its core is about people, the present and the light.

I often get feedback that “this went exactly like I expected.” I am guessing this is because wherever I show up, insta, TikTok, here, or on the day of your shoot I am the same. Very willing to take the mickey out of myself and the moment to help it be relaxed. deep but not taking anything too seriously.
