I've spent most of my life with a camera in my hands. First, as a kid taking snapshots, trying so hard to follow in my dad's footsteps, the footsteps of a wildlife photographer and artist. Then, as a college student, building my technical skills while also trying to figure out who I was and find my voice. Later on, it was as a new parent, discovering my skill as a portrait photographer, being able to capture special milestone moments for my clients.

And today, while I still maintain a very active portrait business, I find an artistic drive pushing me into new creative directions. I'm no longer the child following my dad, but I still find myself, like him, drawn to the details of nature. I feel compelled to observe, document, and in this small way preserve it.
