when i was thirteen, i received my first professional camera. my parents gave me it for christmas; it was all i had wanted. a light sparked within me and i was in love. i knew from that moment wanted to know everything I could about photography.

 

luckily for me, my older cousin had her own photography business and took me under her wing. she taught me how to use it, and i was fortunate enough to gain experience under her. i shot my first wedding with her at the young age of thirteen. i went on to do many more with her since then, fine tuning my skills each and every time. now my focus is on portrait, family, and couple photography.

 

i have always been fascinated by the art of photography. it amazes me how you can just imagine something in your head, and it becomes your job to arrange your subjects and everything else to make that imagination become visible to others. it's all about the little tricks of light, finding the balance of light and dark and using it to create the most beautiful image you can. there is no better feeling than looking down at your camera screen and seeing that tiny preview of the image pop up, showing exactly what you had been hoping for. you feel a rush inside you and become excited to do that over and over. i never get tired of that.

 

if you're still reading this, thank you. and thank you for taking the time to check out my site. i love photography; and i hope that when you scroll through my work, you'll love it too. i hope you'll see how i have poured my heart and soul into all of them and give me a chance to capture the magic for you, too!
