a photographer, creative entrepreneur, and co-owner of The MK LAB, a creative studio located in San Diego.

I believe the essence of being is found not in doing more, but in becoming more—more grounded, more aware, more connected to who God created us to be. Our worth isn’t defined by productivity, performance, or perfection; it’s rooted in our identity which is found in God, our creator. We were never designed to chase meaning—we were meant to embody it.

Over the years, I’ve learned that life’s most sacred moments are often quiet and unseen: the stillness before the day begins, the laughter echoing through a messy home, the deep breath after a long week. It’s in those pauses that I encounter the presence of God and rediscover myself—not as who the world says I should be, but as who I already am in Him.

Through my photography and storytelling, I hope to remind others of this truth: you don’t have to strive to be worthy of the moment you’re in.

You already are.

My mission is to help people slow down, embrace their season, and find the divine beauty in simply being.

I'd love to work together and create something beautiful.
