Photojournalism

Through photojournalism, I share local stories covering a wide range of subjects from breaking news and community events to detailed in depth features. Each photograph I capture serves as an evocative narrative connecting readers intimately with the people, places, and moments that help shape and define the spirit of the community. I am dedicated to documenting truth, emotion and history in every frame, using visual storytelling to foster understanding, connection and appreciation of the diverse communities that surrounds us.
