Thanks a Latte
I met Sam when a new Starbucks store opened and they gathered ‘all-stars’ from various locations to make it the best team yet. When we talked about our dreams and aspirations beyond the barista life, she told me she’s been modeling for years and wanted to take the next step toward making it a career. I was a photographer with little experience in the portrait world, but saw a perfect opportunity to grow and help a fellow artist.

Sam and I became the best of friends, and eventually we would leave Starbucks to pursue an investment in ourselves. Our portfolios grew with our love for art, and it became clear that our paths crossing was the work of destiny. She taught me how to convey concepts, instruct and pose models, and allowed me to see the beauty in humanity. Meeting Sam was a pivotal point that set the trajectory for my biggest passion today – photographing people. These images represent my stages of growth, my obsession to create and my undying fondness for capturing all aspects of life. Welcome to our work.
