Since coming to Chicago, I’ve been deeply involved in the Black arts community and the city’s creative scene. Those connections have given my work a purpose beyond just taking beautiful images — they’ve taught me how powerful it is to celebrate culture, voices, and stories that deserve to be seen. From collaborating with fellow artists to working with small businesses and documenting community events, I approach every project with authenticity and intention.

Through Royalty Only Media, I use my lens to help people and brands tell their stories in meaningful ways. Whether it’s portraits, events, or commercial projects, I believe visuals should feel true and impactful. Every client I work with brings a unique perspective, and I see it as my job to capture that essence in a way that lasts. For me, this work is more than a business — it’s about honoring people’s journeys and creating images that empower and inspire.
