At a young age, creativity started flowing through my veins. And what not better place for my imagination to grow other than the Caribbean? Climbing trees, going on adventures every morning, afternoon, and night, and exploring the realm of creating and perspectives. The sister islands Antigua and Barbuda are not only home to my body, but also to the birth of my creativity. After a family trip to Eastern Europe at the age of 13, this is where my passion for photography blossomed.
In 2015, I received a BFA in Professional Photography from Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California. I spent 7 years in the United States photographing weddings and more, learning the business, and marketing side of photography and now I am living back in Antigua. After 10 + years of focusing on Wedding Photography, I am now in a new direction whilst working more behind the scenes for sister companies. Over the past few years, I have gained experience in operations management with a history of working in the Investment Management Industry. I am now a key part of the marketing and content team for Elmsbridge and Citizens International and you may spot me adventuring around and capturing the beauty of life in Antigua. When I am not photographing, you can find me exploring, spending time at the beach, practicing qi gong, enjoying nature, writing, doodling, belting out jazz (Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday are 2 of my idols), eating delicious food, sharing time with my family and loved ones or daydreaming. I hope you enjoy this collection of my work and adventures! |
