Photography began as a hobby for me and stayed that way for many years, my subjects consisted mostly of my pets. I shared the appreciation with my wonderful parents and they encouraged me to pursue it farther, as they have with every aspect of my life. I finally put all my eggs in one basket halfway through college and began working alongside some incredible photographers that showed me how their passion brought so much joy to others around them, and that is what drives me every day. In a world that is unpredictable and often unforgiving, I choose to find the bright side wherever it may be. Solidifying the sweetest moments of life into photographs is a blessing I do no take for granted. This is crucially important to me because I want to create art that others can get lost in the happiness those memories hold.
