I didn’t learn photography by holding a camera.
I learned it by sweeping hair.

My dad owned a salon.
As a kid, I spent hours there—sweeping up clippings, answering phones, scheduling appointments. It was just chores at first.

But something stuck with me.

Client after client would walk in stiff, guarded, sometimes weighed down. And without fail, they’d leave lighter. Not just because their hair was different—but because they were different.

It wasn’t the haircut.
It was how my dad made them feel.

He listened.
He noticed.
He brought out the version of them they couldn’t always see themselves.

Years later, when I picked up a camera, I realized I wasn’t trying to “take pictures.”
I was trying to do what he did.

To help people feel seen.
To help them leave a little taller than they arrived.
To remind them what’s already inside.

That’s still my goal every time I lift the camera.
You might think you’re just getting a headshot or family portrait…

But what you’re really getting is a space to feel confident, powerful, and fully yourself.

That’s the real picture.
