Welcome!
Hello, welcome to my photography website! I am excited and looking forward to working with you as a future client. To share a bit about myself, I was raised in a Christian household in the Sacramento area as the middle child between two brothers with my mom and dad. My all-time favorite food is sushi, and I love everything sweet; if you put a chocolate chip cookie in front of me, it will be gone in seconds! I am also a hardcore coffee drinker! My "Happy Place" is Hawai'i. I love everything about the Islands, but Kaua'i has a special place in my heart. I hope to move and work with clients there one day!
Growing up, I have always loved taking pictures, but I never thought this would be my future career. In 2020, before I finished high school, I pursued the opportunity to take pictures in my backyard and play around with my camera. I started attending Community College in the Fall of 2021 and studied professional photography until I finished in the Fall of 2023. I can now use all my learning and education in the real world! I am so excited about what the Lord has in store for me in the coming years of doing photography.
I look forward to working with and getting to know you soon! If you have any questions or are interested in working with me, send me an email. :)

Education
I hold an Associate Degree in Photography from Sierra College in Rocklin, California. Over the past two years, I have worked and developed many skills, including how to use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, traditional darkroom, and film-based photography methods, as well as how to work with clients, models, lighting, and composition. These skills have helped me become a more successful photographer.
