“What’s there to say, I’m an Artist.
I could start by saying that I was born into an amazing family, with roots connected throughout the country. A mother who represented the pure definition of the term LOVE. A brother whose cheesecake could put a smile on your face, even on the worst days. Friends that I only view as family because of all the amazing love and support they share. Or I could share all the pain, loss, suffering, hardships, and relentless setbacks… But, no I’m not going there. I just love photography! For me it’s more than a camera with a lens, or a drone that flies around in the air. It’s a vessel of love that I can pour out onto the world, and make a difference even if it’s only for a second. A second that I can make last forever….
So, being a photographer is more than just a profession or a hobby; it's a passion and a way of expressing my creativity and unique perspective. The power to capture moments and tell stories through my images. You can evoke emotions, convey messages, and create a visual narrative that resonates with viewers. Photography allows you to share your perspective and communicate your vision with the world. Creativity and artistic expression that allows you to express your creativity and showcase your unique style. You have the freedom to experiment with different techniques, compositions, lighting, and subject matter, pushing the boundaries of my creativity and creating visual masterpieces. Freeze moments in time and preserve precious memories. Whether it's capturing a wedding, a family gathering, or a special event, photographs become timeless keepsakes that people cherish for years to come. The ability to document significant milestones and create lasting memories for individuals and families. While observing the world as a photographer, I have developed a heightened sense of observation. I notice the small details, the beauty in everyday life, and the extraordinary in the ordinary. Photography encourages me to explore the world around, discover new perspectives, and appreciate the beauty in diverse subjects, landscapes, and cultures. The connection and Impact that photography has is the power to connect people and bridge gaps. Photographs can evoke empathy, spark conversations, raise awareness about social issues, and inspire change.
