I’m a member of the Texas Aggie Class of ’23, a portrait photographer, military brat, and have a background in operations systems. Like many, my life’s been a constant roller coaster — some seasons moving fast, others dragging on.

Somewhere in all of that, I realized how easy it was to lose moments without ever really noticing them. That’s what pulled me into photography. It gives me a way to slow things down, to hold onto the parts of life that deserve a second look, and to capture the feeling of a moment before it slips by.

That’s the same experience I try to give the people I photograph — something real to come back to, even when life keeps moving.
