Growing up I was the shy kid who hated being in pictures and was voted most likely to become an editor of some kind as a kid because I would document anything and everything I could. Back then I would take photos of everything from my dolls to my piano to trees outside, and eventually my parents upgraded my disposable cameras to an actual camera and I came out of my shell step by step. For years I've always wondered what I was meant for in this little life, what my true purpose was. While my journey has been through self hate, anger, abuse and divorce, one thing that always stuck with me was photography ever since I was younger. Since stepping into it fully I've laughed more, loved more and realized just how fast life truly goes by. Now it's my turn to show you what you are capable of, to pause the rush and to capture moments that remind you that your story matters too.
