“I am a 26 year old world traveler, art lover, and silly soul. I’ve hiked 500 miles across Spain, lived on a school bus and waltzed my way through life- some times elegantly. I shoot child and family portraits, musicians, engagements and weddings. My love of photography goes hand in hand with my love of stories.
Life is meant to be captured and re-shared. No matter how monumentally joyous the occasion or how painful the circumstance, there is always, ALWAYS, something beautiful to be told.”

“Photography started out as a hobby but 12 months ago I decided to pursue it seriously as a career.
I am aware of how highly competitive the field is. The availability of high quality, low cost cameras has put professional level photography in the hands of anyone willing to spend the money.
Unlike being a lawyer or a doctor, there are no barriers to becoming a photographer but where I do see a difference is in how many photographers are willing to work as hard a law student or a doctor in training to succeed at their careers.
Being willing to put in the hard work narrows down the competition significantly.
Another thing I do differently is I place much more of an emphasis on presenting my work to my clients than for other photographer which is why Facebook has been such a valuable too for me.”

“I am 16 (dob – 8/14/1994) and have won 4 International awards for my photography.I picked up my first camera at the age of 12, and my experience of being able to catch moments in life fascinated me. I began by snapping photos of nature and landscapes whipping every colour and detail into my Photographs, so once the image was viewed it would seem as if you were in that very moment again. Around the end of 2009 Fashion Photography began to spike my interest. I feel that Fashion Photography is the path I am meant to follow.
