Coaching & Mentorship Programs
Photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about telling stories, capturing emotions, and seeing the world through a unique lens. Whether you're an aspiring photographer, a creative looking to refine your craft, or a young adult eager to explore the art of visual storytelling, I’m here to guide you. With years of experience from teaching on Princeton University campus for the youth, photographing for the White House, and beyond, I’ve mentored photographers of all levels, helping them gain confidence, master their skills, and build thriving creative careers.
​
My mentorship isn’t just about techniques—it’s about unlocking your potential, nurturing your creativity, and providing real-world insights that can only come from hands-on experience. I believe in creating a warm, welcoming space where you can ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. Whether you're looking for one-on-one guidance, structured coaching, or mentorship for young creatives, this is your opportunity to learn from a seasoned professional who is passionate about helping you succeed.
