Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

As a kid, I was always behind the lens — starting with little yellow disposable cameras you’d drop off at Walmart, and later a Nikon Coolpix I received when I was eight. I documented everything: our home before we sold it, everyday moments, and whatever caught my eye. Even then, I was paying attention to details and emotion.

At sixteen, a knee surgery unexpectedly changed everything. I had to drop my PE classes, and the only open elective was photography. That class taught me the foundation of everything I know today — composition, light, storytelling — and it sparked something bigger. I officially started my business in 2016 while living in Singapore, using my high school’s camera equipment and photographing whoever would trust me with their memories.

From there, I slowly built something real. I bought my own gear after moving to California, continued growing through college in Idaho, and eventually learned all the “this is serious now” moments — my first paid family session, my first wedding, and yes, the first time I owed taxes on photography income.

Nine years later, photography isn’t just what I do — it’s how I honor people’s lives.
