Growing up in Southern California, I was constantly surrounded by beauty and inspiration. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a heightened sense of detail and saw things with an artistic perspective.

For my 10th birthday, I received my first digital camera and quickly fell in love with capturing candid moments. During the rise of social media, I began sharing photos on Instagram and Tumblr. I gained a large following on these platforms by sharing my lifestyle and learned how to manage social influence through photography.

In 2016, I attended college in Arizona and focused on Fashion Merchandising. I continued working in portrait photography but didn’t have the time I would have liked for more creative development while pursuing my degree. 

After college, I held jobs in sales and marketing and realized a creative outlet was necessary. I craved a different path and shifted my focus to make these dreams a reality. These professional opportunities and the network I built gave me the confidence and drive to follow my true passion.

I started Sydney’s Eye in September of 2023. My business has now swiftly and exponentially grown into a creative agency that offers an array of visionary services from photography, branding, styling, social media management and more.
