My journey began with a camera

in hand and a desire to capture people as they truly are -unfiltered, expressive, and full of life. That philosophy blossomed into TheCandid Experience (ifyyk) my signature approach and creative umbrella dedicated to building authentic, joy-filled spaces through visuals, events, and content. As a photographer, I specialize in capturing candid moments that tell real stories. From intimate brand portraits to large-scale community activations. My lens is driven by connection, culture, and care. Always seeking the in-between moments that matter most.

In the digital space I’ve grown into a lifestyle influencer, plus-size model, and content creator — partnering with brands that align with my creative vision and reflect the values I stand for. Through collaborations with powerhouse names like Fabletics, Yitty, OWN, and more, I bring fresh, aesthetic-forward storytelling to campaigns that celebrate local love, empowerment, and lived-in luxury.

As a plus-size model, I use my platform to redefine beauty standards and showcase confidence in every curve. My work is about more than just the look — it’s about how it feels. Whether I’m on set or behind the lens, I advocate for representation, body positivity, and authenticity in every image and interaction. I believe confidence isn’t something you have to earn — it’s something you claim.

My content blends style, softness, and strength — inviting others to feel seen, celebrated, and worthy in their skin. Through honest visuals, intentional partnerships, and a strong creative direction, I offer a candid experience of what it means to move through the world boldly and beautifully.

Beyond the screen,

I create immersive real-world experiences designed to celebrate culture and creativity. I’m the founder and curator behind ArtbarLB, a rotating event series that blends art, music, food, and community — spotlighting local artists, entrepreneurs, and venues throughout Long Beach. I also co host Content & Chill, an intimate creative mixer where photographers, influencers, and entrepreneurs can network, shoot content, and grow their brands in an intentional, inspiring space.

Everything I do — whether it’s behind the camera, behind the scenes, or in front of an audience — is rooted in A Candid Experience: honest expression, meaningful connection, and the magic that happens when people feel truly seen.

Let’s create something unforgettable,

lets make it magical!
