Welcome to my photography website. I have always had a love for photography. Growing up, I remember constantly begging my mom to use her point-and-shoot film cameras then I would sit for hours and look through her collection of photo albums that would provoke a feeling of nostalgia and yearning for a different time that I was never part of (or too young to remember).

I knew early on, photographs had the power to freeze time and memorialize any moment you wanted. As I got older, I became intrigued on the art of storytelling through photography. Without understanding how to shoot manually, I was limited in my creative ability. While living overseas in Sydney, Australia, I enrolled in a 8-week photography class where I learned how to shoot manual and since then, I have found a connection to my camera and film that I never had before. Aside from those 8 weeks, everything I learned has been self taught.

Now when I stroll around with my camera around my neck, I focus on fleeting moments, finding beauty in the ordinary, and views that provoke a sense of unknown nostalgia. I shoot 35mm film and digital. Because I prefer candid shots, I do not shoot many portraits.

I am influenced by photographers, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Vivian Maier, Joel Meyerowitz, and Han Fo.
