I began doing photography as a hobbyist when I was only 18 years old. I found that I loved using the camera as a story-telling tool that I could share with everyone I loved. I began taking pictures of all the places I visited and shared the prints with friends and family from here to Brazil. As my skills improved mostly through lots and lots of practice I began making money with my photography by photographying my greatest fear - other people. Portraiture was my greatest fear but turned out to be the turning point to nudge me towards professionalism. Now my photographs are admired my many. Portraits are treasured by their owners. I use photography to make a positive difference in the lives of people and that alone makes it so worth it.
