Those I Know, Those I Met is a collection of portraits, some of close friends, others of strangers who generously allowed me to share a moment with them. Each image is rooted in the intention to see and honor people as they are, capturing something real, quiet, and human.

Whether familiar or newly met, every person here gave me the gift of their presence, and each portrait reflects a shared trust and a fleeting connection. This ongoing series is a reminder of why I photograph, to connect, to listen, and to grow through the stories we hold in our faces.
