I am an NYC based fashion, portrait, and hospitality photographer. I knew I would own a photography business the moment I was on a photoshoot with creatives I met during New York Fashion Week in 2016. During the shoot, I realized that my model, Mia Boggs, was really relaxed and receptive to my direction. I had an intuitive sense that this is my true calling. I could tune into her nuances and influence her so that she could show up at her best on camera. She is featured in a few of the photos in my submission.
