There’s something I’ve realized about myself over the years…
Before every session, before the camera comes out, before a single image is created — I see it first in my heart.
I imagine the feeling.
The connection.
The way a mother will look at her child.
The way a couple leans into each other without even thinking.
The quiet beauty people don’t always see in themselves… yet.
This illustration feels like a glimpse into that space — the place where I sit with your story before we ever create your portrait.
Soft.
Intentional.
Full of legacy and love.
Because what I do has never been just about taking pictures.
It’s about honoring people.
Preserving relationships.
And creating something that will matter…
long after the moment has passed.
