Detroit’s Fine Art & Editorial Brand Photographer

Planning a proposal is thrilling, nerve-wracking, and unforgettable. It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments, and having it captured professionally ensures you’ll have memories to treasure for years to come.

One of the most striking aspects of photographing Aerial Arts is the juxtaposition of strength and vulnerability. As performers defy gravity with seemingly effortless grace, they also reveal moments of raw emotion and vulnerability. It's a delicate balance of power and poise, and as a photographer, my goal was to capture those fleeting moments of authenticity.
