I have been passionate about photography since elementary school, although I started photographing more professionally in 8th grade. I purchased my first SLR camera (Canon Rebel T3) right before a class trip to Washington D.C.
Following that trip my passion for photography only grew and I began photographing everything.
I studied documentary photography in my undergrad, and spent 4+ years as a portrait photographer.

I suppose owe my passion of photography to my father.
Perhaps; thanks to him, it is in my blood.
