My favorite thing is when saying "yes" gifts me with something inexplicably priceless and worthwhile.

It blows my mind to even say that I have 'clients'. It fills me with joy that I get to play a part in making people feel confident in who they are, inspiring others to want to go out and explore the world, and to be a part of their best day ever. I have a desire to continue learning new and crazy things: this season's edition is oil painting. My hope is to be childlike in the sense of honesty and pure fun, yet be wise in my understanding of the world through exploration, growth, admiration, and open-heartedness. Photography allows me to show off my odd side, meet cool people, tell untold stories, and inspire others to come along for an unforgettable ride.

My photography story wasn’t all that impressive to me. Not at first anyway. It started with traveling, printing everything and sticking it on my school binder. On one night during my 3rd year of college while studying for a subject that I can’t even recall, someone commented an arbitrary photo and said, “From these pics I think you should leave whatever you’re studying behind and pursue photography.” Shout out to Drew McKinney! I chuckled and said, “Guess I’ll start a photography business now.” I realized later on how incredible that was. The way people in your life are used to mold your story. That cycle continues and my story, who knows, is used to tell another persons, and another. One word can change everything.
