Lighting equipment can be incredibly expensive and confusing, but I’m excited to keep experimenting and sharing the results with all of you! Learning more about lighting equipment is a challenge but so much fun! Over the years, I’ve experimented with everything from budget-friendly finds to professional-grade equipment. My lighting gear ranges from a $20 work light from Home Depot to my latest purchase, the impressive Aputure Amaran 150c LED light.

After nearly 14 years with my beloved Nikon D5500, I finally made the leap to my first mirrorless camera—the Nikon R6. This upgrade, along with my carefully chosen lenses, has made a world of difference in my photography. I’m a firm believer that gear can’t make or break you as a photographer, but finding the right tools can certainly make your job a whole lot easier. Read on to learn more about my journey from entry-level gear to the setup I use today, and why I always try before I buy!

Branded product photography isn’t just about taking pretty pictures; it’s about creating a visual story that connects with your audience and reinforces your brand’s identity.

As both a photographer and set designer, I offer brands the full package—capturing stunning images while ensuring every element in the frame is intentional and on-brand. With experience and expertise in completely producing my own photoshoots, I can strategize every detail from start to finish, creating a seamless and impactful visual story.

As a social media manager and photographer, I leverage data from a brand’s social platforms to better style and structure photography that aligns with their audience’s preferences and expectations. By combining analytics with creative visuals, I ensure that your social media presence not only looks great but also delivers results.
