Personal Work

This gallery is intentionally uncurated—a space where I share uncommissioned ideas, and the random images I create and love but don’t quite fit in any of my portfolios.

Transference

This piece, growing into a series is a revival and remembrance — a reawakening of past studio portraits through image transfers layered with the natural world. Leaves, blossoms, and organic textures invite new narratives to emerge, where memory, time, and transformation entwine. Each piece reflects the quiet persistence of beauty through change. {Model: Ashley Trousdell, 3 Model Mgmt}

Between Realities

The series below explores the layered nature of our existence—where visible and invisible worlds converge. As the Earth moves through profound transformation, we too navigate dual realities: one rooted in the tangible, the other rising in vibration and awareness. I am using crystals to achieve this visual affect. This photograph is part of an ongoing exploration of perception, energy, and the quiet power of transition. {Model Lizzie Gunst, SCOUT Model Mgmt

In Her America

This image belongs in an ongoing portrait series exploring identity, place, and power through the lens of young women and the American flag — carried, worn, questioned. Each image in this series is a quiet reckoning: Who gets to carry the flag? Who gets to feel free? The flag is hers to carry, question, reclaim. { Model: Sydnie Mancini }

In her natural glow

A studio test exploring the quiet power of clean beauty and natural light. Shot with minimal styling to let skin, shadow, and presence take the lead — this series celebrates softness, strength, and the luminous in-between.

The Night the Fern Bloomed

Inspired by the Slavic legend of the fern flower —

Folk legend says that the fern flowers for only one night in midsummer. The story goes that if someone finds the fern flower on that night, they will have lifelong riches and happiness. { Model: Justine Vivian / NYLO Talent Agency. MUA: Natasha Leverett

Stars, Stripes & She

This long-term portrait series places the American flag in the hands of girls and women — not as decoration, but as a question. Shot over years and landscapes, each image reclaims the visual language of patriotism to explore autonomy, identity, and belonging.

In an America that continues to debate women’s rights, bodies, and voices, this series asks: What does freedom look like when she holds the flag? { Eliza Eliza Boivin / NYLO Talent Agency }

Layering color in the studio

Studio Test. It's easy to blast a set with colored lights, but maintaining a clean exposure on the subject takes some finessing. Here I test layering the sets with colored gels, while keeping my exposure to the subjects clean. { Models Caina Summer and Ashleigh Nickelson, Kendall Minor

The Antler Series

In this portrait series, I handed each subject a set of antlers — a natural symbol of strength, instinct, and presence — and asked them to pose however it made them feel. What emerged was unexpected and deeply personal. Some wore them like crowns. Some shielded themselves. Some held them like armor, others like wings. The antlers became a mirror: revealing inner wildness, softness, sovereignty, and story — all in silence, all in gesture.

Tide Communion

At the shifting edge of land and sea, we return — to body, to rhythm, to something older than words. The ocean welcomes us not as visitors, but as part of the whole.

Glitter & Grief

This portrait set explores the tension between beauty and breakdown — where softness, sadness, and resilience live side by side. Using color, texture, and expression, the images reflect emotional states that don’t always have language: glitter as armor, pigment as presence, and tears as unfiltered truth. These portraits ask what it means to be seen in moments of becoming — not polished, not undone, just real. { Model: Kendall Minor, LOOK Model Agency / MUA: Emily Rose Jones

A studio + natural light series highlighting sculptural earrings and statement pieces with clean beauty and expressive portraiture. Shot with an emphasis on texture, tone, and the quiet power of presence. The goal for this collaboration was to create vibrant, modern images, full of softness paired with strength — a perfect pairing for bold, sculptural jewelry and expressive beauty.
