I started photography in the fall of 2016 and at first it was just another high school class for me that I chose and needed to pass. That was until I started getting a ton of compliments on my work and started traveling with my schools sports teams to take their photos. By January 2017, I was basically the schools go-to photographer, that's what kept me going at it. I didn't know how long I'd be doing it but I'm eight years in now as of 2024 and yeah it has it's few little minor problems but that just means I have more to learn until I master this.
​
The shooting part is easiest. It's the marketing and staying creative part that is most challenging for me. This is my second website because the other one just looked dry and didn't look like it was really showing off what I am capable of. With this one I hope to have it look as if it were an art gallery of my best work so that everyone knows what I can do without questions being asked.
​
I have always wanted to create my own magazine and maybe I'll still do it one day. I even wanna get into videography and film making soon. All of that takes dedication and passion. When I was first starting photography my sophomore year of high school and didn't care about my grades in my other classes, I knew that this was the career choice for me.
​
If the question was,"why do you do photography?"
My answer would simply be, "because I love creating memories, capturing emotion, and making people feel good about themselves with every photo I capture"
​
After all, I am more than a photographer, I am an artist.
