Portrait by Skyline Headshots, Edited by Jansen B

Born and raised in Gainesville, Florida. I’ve lived in Chicago the previous eight years. My life story has influenced my photography.

I don’t have any childhood pictures or strong memories to fall back on. I use photography to transform childhood trauma into a positive by using creativity to build a community and family I never had.

I want my commitment to adding value to Chicago shows in my work. Just as marketing and photography has the ability to impact businesses I believe it is also capable of changing communities. This is why I use my camera to push forward causes I believe in.
