Nice to meet you
Not your typical photographer here.
Based in Rochester, NY and open to wandering outside of this little town. I claim myself as an intuitive and narrative photographer which simply means I choose to document others in an authentic story-telling way. I accomplish this form of photography by getting to know you, your partner, and/or whoever else accompanies you during photos. After you submit an inquiry, I begin to get to know you and yours through more dialogue and a questionnaire. During our time together, you will notice that I zone into observation mode. It is here in this visual space where my intuition steps in and I study the movements between. I will vocalize what I see to you and encourage more of that connection I perceive to document those genuine moments.
