My Story !

From a young age, I’ve had a knack for making memories. I remember being totally captivated by our family’s old silver Polaroid Spirit 600 camera. I’d spend hours at family gatherings snapping away and capturing those silly little moments. I still use that same Polaroid camera to this day!

When I was 11, my cousins and I went on a family vacation. I’d been watching tons of travel vlogs on YouTube about our destination and thought it would be awesome to make my own. I convinced my parents to get me a little Sony camcorder (thanks, Mom and Dad!), and I spent the entire trip recording and snapping photos. When we got back home, I edited everything together and burned it onto a DVD. Everyone loved it, and many still have a copy. That’s when I truly fell in love with capturing and preserving memories through photos and video. I wanted to share that same joy of reliving special moments with as many people as I could.

When I was about to enter high school, my amazing and supportive parents sent me to a technical school where I spent four fantastic years in a multimedia program. There, I learned all about the ins and outs of photography and videography and everything involved in doing it professionally. I continued to build on that education in college for another two years.

Over the years, my passion for capturing memories and bringing joy to people has only deepened with each client I work with. I genuinely look forward to continuing this journey for the rest of my life.
