Compliments to Sarena for this portrait of me.

My passion for photography unexpectedly began during my senior year of high school. I joined the class in hopes to expand my knowledge on photoshop. Funny right? However, as time went on, I started taking the class and my assignments more seriously. That, of course, gave me a deep appreciation for storytelling through images.

In high school, I was drawn to how photography could freeze a moment in time, capturing not just what we see, but how we feel. Whether it was a candid shot of a friend, a landscape from a family trip, or a random object that caught my eye, I found myself looking at the world through a different lens.

Recognizing my growing passion for this fine art, I decided to expand my knowledge by taking a black and white film photography class in college. There, I was introduced to the fundamentals of light, composition, and the beauty of analog processes. I love how film forced me to slow down and be intentional with every shot.

Having the privilege of shooting both film and digital photography, Iā€™m able to apply my knowledge to deliver the best images possible.
