I have been doing professional nightlife and party photography for the past year and have experience with headshots, portraits, product, macro, and boudoir.

I took an interest in photography at a young age. I come from a long line of artists and creative types: painters, musicians, tinkerers, and graphic designers, but when it comes to drawing and painting, that talent skipped my generation. When I was in my teens I found myself drawn to photography, as it was something that relied on my inner vision more so than the steadiness of my hands.

Throughout my life, I have witnessed natural moments of beauty, whether it be someone brushing hair out of their face, a genuine smile, a gesture of love (or even hate), or just an amazing sunset, and I have wished that I could capture that moment, that essence of life, just take a slice from the world and preserve it and show it to others.

That is the core of my drive to take pictures. I don't need to create beauty from nothing, I want to capture the beauty that is already around us every day. We are surrounded by human moments that most of the time go unnoticed, and I want people to notice them.
