Favorite Subjects to Photograph:
People! I love high contrast situations. I enjoy catching people off guard as well as capturing their natural beauty.

Where I see myself in ten years: I plan to be shooting weddings, portraits, and continuing to make art, traveling and maybe being married, really just enjoying life. As well as using my degree and teaching religion. Who knows, there is so much to do and experience. I want to try to do it all.

My Photography: I love to take shots of people. You can capture so much emotion in that one moment in time. I have an eye for different angles. I like to try new angles that disorientate as well as that make you think about what you are looking at. I very much like to take pictures of the city and city scenes. There is so much that goes on in the city to pass up. My photography is mainly in digital form but recently I have been getting into analog b&w. It has been a learning process and testing my skills. It has helped greatly and made my photography stronger.

Places to Go Shoot: Paris, Maui, The Caribbean, Ireland, Great Wall of China, Buddhist Temples of Tibet, Roman Ruins, Small Villages in Africa. That is just a few.

My statement about who I am: I'm independent, charismatic, content and sometimes indifferent but overall I see myself as someone that can use what they love to to bring happiness to others.
