I am thrilled you are considering using me to capture your memories. below is a little more about me and my journey to where I am today.

My love for photography started at an incredibly young age and likely started from seeing how much my uncle loved photography. I remember always marveling over all the vintage cameras he kept at his house. As I got older I remember entering into my first photography competition, in 8th grade, and thinking I had it in the bag. To my dismay my images did not even garner an honorable mention. For high school I attended Strake Jesuit where I was a part of the Strake Jesuit Educational Television (SJET) homeroom. SJET is the morning news production the school puts on every morning. To stay in the homeroom you had to create multiple videos each month. Learning how to use the camera for video was a great experience but I never fell in love with the process. In the first semester of my senior year of high school I took my first photography course where I really found my love for photography. I knew photography was my passion when I saw the joy a good photograph can bring to the subject. A good photograph makes the subject and I happy. In my second semester of high school I took the advance photography course. At the end of the course we had a show and I sold more prints than any of my class mates. Following the art show Jesuit held an art competition where I won best in medium for one of my images.

For college I attended the university of Mississippi for my freshman year where I had decided, briefly, I wanted to study journalism. After my freshman year I realized that I wanted to go back to focusing on photography so I explored the options Ole Miss had to offer but could not find a fitting program. Instead of continuing at Ole Miss, I came back home to attend college at the University of Houston. In my first year at U of H I worked as a photographer at JC Penny portraits where I learned about posing and selling the most awkward family & couple photos you have ever seen. From my time at U of H I learned a great deal about photography as an art form and the history of photography. Unfortunately the program did not lend it self to teaching us much about Portrait photography or the business side of photography so taking incredible portraits for all of my projects was out of the question. For our final project my class held an art show where, once again, I sold more prints than any of my classmates. After graduating U of H with a bachelor's of fine arts specialty in photography, I worked at a Studio that specialized in taking model portfolios. While I learned a great deal about the business there the job lacked the creativity that I thrive off of so after a year I quit working there to focus on my business full time. Which brings us to today where my sole focus is creating images for people to love and I could not be happier. Thank you for reading and helping make my dream a reality.
