Summary
As a professional photographer and doula for nearly a decade, I have learned to work in the most harsh conditions for photography and videography. I am skilled in communicating and working with people I've barely met. I am a dedicated photographer with a genuine love for the craft and art behind it. As a small business owner, I have had my hand at many aspects of the work and have developed skills in different areas that most people do not get the opportunity to do.
