Every story has a beginning, here’s mine

I started in the creative industry years ago as a runner on set. Grabbing coffees, holding boom mics and doing my best to stay out of frame.

Starting from the bottom gave me a front-row seat to how storytelling comes together and pushed me to learn, grow and say yes to every opportunity. Not long after, I stepped into the world of weddings as a second shooter, and something just clicked. It gave me clarity on the kind of creative I wanted to be.

These days, I'm behind the lens full-time, doing what I love most! Capturing people in their element, in moments that matter most!

My why, In Focus

It's pretty simple for me! Everything I do comes back to my faith and my family.

From day one, l've wanted to build something that gives my wife and future kids a life full of freedom, joy and purpose. This business wouldn't exist without my faith.

I'm a big believer that I don't do this creative work with my own strength. And when freelance life gets tough (as it does) I always come back to my why. It's what keeps me grounded, motivated and hungry to keep growing, keep creating and keep building something bigger than myself!

Inside the space where ideas run wild

I believe a creative environment plays such an important role in the creative process. That’s why I made an intentional decision to invest into our spare room and create a space where business could thrive.

This is a space where it all happens, after a wedding or project its such a game changer to come back to a space that’s set up for creativity. I’m very passionate about putting yourself in the right environments to nurture and grow your ideas!

Although Avoda is a small studio set up in a spare room of our appartments I believe one day Avoda Studios will be able to invest into a building space that will be able to facilitate creative spaces for other creators to work in!

Imagine a space where creatives from all sorts can work together in a collaborative space (with awesome coffee of course) and encourage each other, learn off each other and see each other win in life and business!
