As a photographer, I’ve always believed that moments matter—and not just the posed or polished ones. Some of the most powerful images come from simply being present for people during meaningful times in their lives. That’s why I’ve made it part of my mission to give back through photography, whether it’s donating sessions, supporting local nonprofits, or capturing stories that need to be told.
How I Give Back
I believe photography is more than a business—it's a way to serve. I believe that I can bless someone using my lens to support:
Families in need by offering free portraits during tough times
Local entrepreneurs and small businesses just starting out
Graduating seniors who couldn’t afford senior photos
Animal shelters with adoption photography
Community events and fundraisers, volunteering my time and skills
Whether it’s a mini session giveaway or photographing a family reunion for someone battling illness, these are the moments that matter most.
Why It Matters
The images we create aren’t just for Instagram or photo albums—they’re legacies. And sometimes, they’re the only thing a family has left. That’s why I believe in using my skills to serve others, not just earn a paycheck.
Want to Nominate Someone?
Know a family, individual, or organization who would benefit from a complimentary session? I open a few slots every season to give back.
Final Thought
Building a business with heart means leading with service. I’m proud to run a photography business that doesn’t just capture smiles—but shares them, too. Thank you for supporting what I do and helping me give back through the power of a photo.
