About Me

Rooted in the rich traditions of Louisiana and inspired by the creative energy of California, I bring a unique blend of Southern hospitality and West Coast artistry to everything I do. My journey began in the kitchen, crafting authentic Southern dishes like Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice, and fried catfish — meals that evoke the warmth and comfort of home.

After years as a private chef, my passion for creativity evolved beyond the plate. Traveling across the United States ignited my love for visual storytelling, leading me to study under a 20-year photography veteran from the entertainment industry. That experience shaped my eye for composition, emotion, and detail — the same precision I’ve always brought to my culinary work.

Now based in Southern California and available for projects nationwide, I offer a seamless blend of culinary expertise, photography, and event experiences through South 2 West Events. My mission is to deliver First Class Service, whether through capturing timeless moments, curating unforgettable events, or serving dishes that tell a story.

Every project I take on is fueled by passion, professionalism, and a deep appreciation for the art of connection — because great food and great photography both have the power to bring people together.
