I have been handling SLR cameras since I was a child for fun. My first year of college as a Graphic Design major I had a project where I was going to draw my friends and incorporate it into a graphic collage. I grabbed my Cybershot and invited some friends to pose for me. While I never finished the project (it was extra credit anyway) all my "models" loved their pictures!

After that I shifted gears to make Photography a priority. Using various sources of learning on YouTube and a sponsorship from my closest friends I got my first DSLR and started taking portraits on a regular basis, learning as I went.

It’s been over a decade since then. In that time I’ve had the opportunity to shoot with people from all walks of life including professionals from the worlds of fitness, fashion, stage and screen. It’s been a wild ride and every year I get closer and closer to perfecting my craft.
