University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana Graduation
During my senior year of college, I started offering film and digital photography sessions for graduation shoots, simply as a creative outlet. What began as a side hustle quickly turned into something more; I found myself deeply inspired by the process of planning, directing, and capturing meaningful moments, especially with couples. That experience sparked a true passion for creative direction and storytelling, and it became clear to me that this wasn’t just a hobby; it was the start of my career. It was the moment I realized I wanted to create something more substantial with my art.
