I was raised in Bloomington, Minnesota as the youngest of four siblings. As a flower child and Gemini with an Aries moon, I have no issue expressing emotions through creative outlets. LOL! However, as life hit me hard with inconceivable losses, I learned to adapt and heal through art and storytelling. I began photography in 2016 after purchasing my first Canon DSLR. I started photographing family and friends, then for STYLE Magazine's LA Fashion week. I took a brief hiatus from photography to focus on creating visuals for my poetry, which caught the eye of Atlantic Records. As a music video director who now directs under the pseudonym, '4YP3 N1N1 (HYPE NINI)'.
"Creation is everything you do. Make something."

I curate intimate and beautiful photoshoots/film sets for anyone looking for an opportunity to embrace self-love with a little vanity. As someone who grew up believing I was never enough based on societal standards of beauty, I create safe spaces for your highest self to shine. Book with me for an experience that is empowering and fun!
