for those who know that it only happens like this once
I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer based in Hamilton, Ontario.
That being said, I'm down to travel just about anywhere to tell your story.
I got into photography because life is precious, and it only happens once. Photos are one of the only things that we get to hold onto once the moment is over.
As my favourite Mary Oliver poem, "The Summer Day" finishes by asking,
"so what is it that you plan to do with your
one wild and precious life?"
and whatever your answer is, I want to capture you, enjoying your life, your love, and your people
for generations to come.
HEAR FROM YOU
I cannot wait to
LESS PERFORMANCE,
MORE PRESENCE.
