My Mission:

Is to capture images that awaken people to the beauty, passion, and joy of life and the world around us.

The world craves to showcase its magnificence, if we will only take the time to look and listen.

I made a $5000 bet on myself and never looked back.

At 22, I knew that the career I dreamed of would have to be physically demanding, require strategic thought, allow ongoing learning opportunities, and empower me to authentically be myself.

Over the course of many years, I found myself incidentally doing photography wherever I worked.

I came to find that the trial and error process of capturing reality in unique ways was intoxicating. My journey began with social media work for lululemon, product and event photography for the Urban Winery in Silver Spring, then construction and corporate event photography for Stokes Creative Group.

I worked through several models of camera, upgrading as my skill developed beyond the tool at hand. Finally, I was confronted with professional camera models and lenses featuring much larger price tags. Which begged the question: Is digital media really what I want?

I placed that bet and have only looked back smiling ever since.
