Born and raised in a small town in Eastern, Washington. I decided to pursue my love for Fashion and move to Seattle. In 2007, I graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle where I received a degree in Fashion Marketing. After college, took some time off and traveled extensively through Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Central America, South East Asia as well as Europe. Through these travels I have a new profound appreciation of the world and its values. Most of my portfolio pictures are of special places, and moments taken from my travels across the world. Today I am independently contracted as a Merchandise Coordinator for a company based out of San Francisco, which allows me to have a flexible schedule, and fulfill & maintain other hobbies I enjoy such as photography. Photography is a hobby and something I see myself doing not full time, but on the side forever. Being involved any way possible and making a difference somehow is what life is all about in my eyes.
My inspiration for photography comes from growing up around my grandfather who loved taking photos. Anywhere he went he was taking pictures of the family. I have been on both ends of the camera and capturing the true beauty and essence of an individual is really where my creativity shines.I really enjoy capturing that “in the moment” shot and shooting at local events. If you know me well enough, you know the bargain is in my hands wherever we go! I understand the sense in budgeting and am here to help make your life easier so let’s have some fun and get to snappin’. I am here to provide quality photos at a more reasonable price than most photographers. Photography & fashion are two important passions of mine, and it shows.
