Hi there.


For as long as I can remember, I have spent my adulthood life falling in love over and over again with photography. Just some background info... my love for photography began at the age of 17 while photographing for the Lakewood Lancers Yearbook. I then continued my love for photo at California State University of Long Beach, where I received my Bachelors Degree is Studio Art with an emphasis in Fine Art Photography. The rest is history! :)
