You can call me "5".

I’m a documentary and event photographer raised in the South and currently based in Eugene, Oregon. My work is rooted in love for the candid and the small moments that reveal something honest about the people and places around us.

I have been taking photographs for as long as I can remember. I started with disposable film cameras, documenting friends, family, classmates, celebrations, and everyday gatherings. That early instinct eventually shaped my documentary style.

Whether I’m photographing a festival, wedding, live performance, community gathering, or the motion of the streets, I approach each experience with curiosity and intention. I’m not only looking for what happened, I’m looking for what it felt like to be there, the essence! 

I have also spent many years performing and releasing music under the artist name m5 vibe. Being on both sides of the stage has given me a deeper understanding of what artists, performers, and event organizers need from a photographer. I understand the preparation behind a performance, the vulnerability of being seen, and the importance of creating images that represent someone authentically.

Photography continually challenges the way I see the world. It pushes me to slow down, notice more, and translate what I feel into something another person can experience. More than anything, it feels good to be present and create something meaningful.
