There’s something magical about wrapping up the year with a studio session. The controlled lighting, the creative energy, and the connection with the subjects all felt like the perfect way to conclude 2024. During this session, I experimented with some lighting setups that I’ve been refining over the past year. The atmosphere was calm yet charged with purpose a fitting reflection of my journey this year.

As a Philly travel photographer, I recently spent four incredible nights in Palm Springs, California. This trip was originally booked back in March, as my fiancée and I thought it would be our only major getaway this year.
