I spent over a decade producing reality TV. I spent those years gravitating towards authenticity and uplifting the real stories of others. After all, they were always much more interesting than anything made up.

My super power was my ability to calm the anxiety that cameras can bring. My bosses often called on me to help nervous people feel comfortable so they could fully realize their star potential on shows like X Factor USA, Bridezillas, Masterchef, Couples Therapy and Famously Single.

I bring this unique perspective to all my photography, whether I'm capturing a family, a plate or a person.
