I believe everyone deserves, heartwarming, soul-reaching, timelessly nostalgic photographs of this messy thing called life.

When I was young, my mom would always have a camera in her hands. I learned quickly just how important photographs are to preserve the memories with the people that mean the most to us.

Let's just say I am a feeler, to put it lightly. I feel connected to the people and places around me quite deeply and have such a passion for capturing that connection with my camera—telling stories untold and documenting moments often overlooked. Now of course, I have other great loves that include traveling, my two cats, my cute nieces and the entire month of October, but there's something about the sound of a camera's shutter that sets my soul on fire.
