When I was in high school, my dad purchased a new and updated Nikon SLR camera. I was blown away by the quality and multifunction settings of the camera.  I began doing research of my own to purchase a similar camera.  Even though my budget was low, I managed to purchase an updated Nikon SLR camera.  I began getting involved with the high school yearbook and found it rewarding to see my photos featured as a long lasting memories.  I found sports photography challenging as well as interesting and took the opportunity to improve my skills as my equipment was updated.​

 

I later went off to college and inquired about a position as a sports photographer.  The entire athletic department gave me a blank stare as if to say, "what’s that...?”  At the time they were a small college slowly expanding and looking for advancements.  I later received a phone call stating that I was hired for the position.  I attended as many of the 13 sporting departments’ events that I could; hoping to improve the college's sporting programs and information department.  

 

Today, I look to continue this passion and further its success not only in sports, but also in special events like engagements, weddings, and portraits. I continue to grow in my knowledge by utilizing new editing programs, lighting techniques etc. so that each photograph captured is the best it can be. Not only do I continue to love what I do, but hope that you will love the memories I preserve alongside you; because after all a photograph is a moment captured to last a lifetime.
