I’m a medical student at UIC, and when I’m not buried in textbooks or at the hospital, you’ll usually find me alongside Mia at weddings. Being her partner in life means I know her on a deeper level, which also helps me know what she needs before she even asks. Over time, I’ve learned her style, her rhythm, and how to support her so she can focus fully on creating.

My role is often behind the scenes: carrying gear, helping frame a shot, or making sure every detail is just right. It’s a job I love because I get to be part of the magic Mia creates while also making things easier for her and our clients.

When I’m not studying or helping out at weddings, I’m usually watching football or hanging out with my dog. Both keep me grounded and remind me to slow down and enjoy the little things, kind of like photography does.

I’m not a photographer by trade,  I’m a medical student,  but being Mia’s partner means I get to see firsthand how much heart she pours into every session. Over time, I’ve learned her flow, what she needs in the moment, and how to step in so everything runs smoothly. Whether it’s holding gear, adjusting details, or just making sure she has the space to focus, my role is to support her so she can give you the very best. Think of me as the quiet extra set of hands making sure things stay stress-free and seamless behind the scenes.
