My life as a photographer started off in high school when I inherited my grandmother's film camera. I started exploring lighting, point of views, and how to operate a film camera. I then bought my first DSLR in late 2010 and opened my business in 2011. Although I never went to school for photography, I researched, studied, and practiced my skills until I was satisfied with my work. Which is why I encourage future clients not to base their decision on where the photographer went to school or how long they've been in the industry, but how well their quality is. Because of my passion for photography, I am still learning new things and always practicing. One rule I have for myself: I don't compete with others, I compete with myself which has made me successful but I love making friends with all the photographers I meet along the way.  I use a Canon 5D Mark IV for the best results possible.
