Photography was never the plan. During the pandemic, I picked up my partner's old Canon Rebel T3i with no particular goal — just curiosity and time…a lot of time. What started out as something to do became something I couldn't stop doing.

It’s years later now and I am a St. Louis-based photographer whose work spans concert pits, collegiate sidelines and other large-scale events across the region. My goal is simple - to photograph sports, music & live events in a way that feels honest and alive. I try to focus on the details that make moments unforgettable. Every drop of sweat, every note, every spotlight tells a story - I’m here to capture those stories.

My work is regularly featured in Top Shelf Music Magazine and has been featured in shows at the Soulard Art Gallery in St. Louis.


My Approach

I'm not looking for the perfect frame. I'm looking for the one that actually happened. The chaos, the blur at the edge, the expression nobody posed for — that's the shot I’m after!

THE WORK

Sports, concerts, live events. Anywhere something is actually at stake. That’s where I want to be with a camera.
