I’m an Air Force veteran born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama—a place that taught me grit, gratitude, and the power of perspective. After my service, life carried me into the world of education, where I found a new rhythm and a deeper purpose. As a middle school Gifted and Talented Specialist, I’ve had the honor of working with young minds who challenge, inspire, and remind me daily that curiosity is a force all its own. Guiding them isn’t just something I do—it’s a craft, a calling, and a constant reminder of how bright the future can be.

But creativity has always followed me, no matter the uniform or title. Over the years, photography became more than a hobby—it grew into a voice, a refuge, and a way to freeze the fleeting. That passion evolved into a new mission: building a studio where ideas can breathe. 

At 3MV Photography, every image is shaped by the precision the Air Force instilled in me, the knowledge honed at Mississippi State, and the patience refined in the classroom. My camera is more than equipment—it’s a storyteller. Every click reaches for truth. Every frame tries to honor the moment. Whether I’m capturing family portraits, celebrations, or artistic visions, my goal is simple: turn passing moments into something that lasts.
