That's me, Venice Italy, not too long ago. Not much has changed. I’m still looking at everything as a potential photo. When I look back on when I started taking photos and how my life wound its way to today, I would have to thank my Grandma. She sent me my first film camera when I was 10. It wasn’t until the thought of university and the looming question of “what are you going take” came that I decided on a photography major.

My photography degree taught me many things but this thought has been the most prominent: I truly love portrait photography. I believe photography should be a true representation of someone’s personality and environment. I love to work with people in their environments, capturing the essence of who they are.
