A typical day for me as a photographer starts with a cup of coffee and a glance at my calendar. Every day is different, and that’s one of the things I love most about this career. One morning I might be prepping for a wedding shoot, and the next, I’m capturing portraits or shooting a product for a local business.

On shoot days, my mornings are spent finalizing the details—checking gear, confirming locations, and sometimes even scouting new spots. I believe preparation is key to ensuring the shoot goes smoothly. Once I arrive at the location, I’m in full photographer mode, making sure the lighting, angles, and moments align perfectly. Between shots, I chat with clients, making them feel comfortable and relaxed. It’s not just about taking great photos—it’s about making people feel seen and valued.

In the evening, my work isn’t over. After the shoot, I dive into editing, a process I find both meditative and creative. It’s when I bring the final image to life. Some nights, I spend hours fine-tuning each photo, ensuring every detail is perfect. Then, it’s back to emails, setting up meetings, and planning future shoots. It’s a lot of work, but it’s all worth it when I see the joy my photos bring to others.
