Biography

​I’ve always had a camera in my hand. At all times, I want to capture the moment and be able to create something that can hold everything still — setting the mood, feelings, and energies that are present. My passion for photography started to blossom in grade school. I continued to dabble and grow fond of the creative world, realizing that sustaining a creative outlet was necessary for me to express myself. Additionally, my engagement with film — creating, being behind the scenes, and witnessing the conjunction of all elements and how it brings people together — revealed a sense of liberation and euphoric happiness. This assured me to continue to create. The branding of Sessions with Ariel started in 2020 and I am super optimistic about the growth it holds.

​

Impassioned with film and movies growing up, I fell in love with the creative process. This art form brings people together to spread awareness, perspectives, and inspiration in shared spaces — and I believe that it is one of the most powerful and beautiful tools one can hold.

Since 2025, my creative journey has continued expanding beyond photography and film into writing, self-publishing, and community-centered storytelling through my Create Space book series and upcoming podcast, Circle Conversations. These projects are rooted in my desire to create environments that encourage creativity, reflection, healing, and honest conversations through art and shared experiences. Alongside portrait and documentary-style photography, I’ve also found joy working within the film and commercial industry through VTR work, as well as collaborating with local Atlanta businesses to help bring their stories and brands to life through visual storytelling.
