My Journey
2019
Where it all started
I didn’t start behind the camera. I started in front of it.
Modeling taught me how photographers see.. how they direct, what they notice, what they miss. Being the subject gave me an education I couldn’t have learned any other way. And a sense of how it feels to be the subject and what works best for direction and making ppl feel comfortable
That curiosity turned inward. Self portraits became experiments.
Those experiments became a language! & This is where everything shifted.
2020
Finding my footing
I turned my upholstery studio into a photo studio and went all in on photography.
A client discovered my work on Instagram. One shoot turned into many, then into an offer to travel the world creating imagery together. I had never left the country before.
I was broke, uncertain, and completely out of my comfort zone. but my work opened doors I never thought possible.
2021
Crossing paths
Travel opened everything up.
London was my first stop... and where I met Kenzie at London Fashion Week. We shot together, connected instantly, and kept creating.
I later moved to Hollywood for a few months, where we continued building our vision through fashion and photography.
This year changed my life, both creatively and personally.
2022
Everything changed
I left the US because I had to.. not because I wanted to. I fell in love, but timing and visas don’t care about feelings.
Australia became my reset.
That year brought tours, festivals, and my first real industry recognition. Everything hurt.. and everything grew.
2024
Alignment
Everything finally lined up.
I became Bring Me The Horizon’s personal photographer.
I was sponsored by Nikon.
I moved to Hollywood.. this time with a proper visa and real stability.
Kenz and I built a life.
A penthouse apartment.
A dog.
Work that felt intentional instead of survival. For the first time, I wasn’t chasing.
I was exactly where I was meant to be.
2026
A new chapter
After two years living in Hollywood, we chose change. a big one.
We moved our entire lives to Sydney, Australia, including our puppy.
We’re settling in now.
Slowing down.. Building what comes next.
This chapter is just beginning.
