“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundreth of a second” - Mark Riboud
I love the feeling when your photograph comes out exactly like or even better then you wanted. I create my art so I can show other people the world through my eyes. It's a way to make scenarios from my imagination become reality. My art gives me a way to express my thoughts and communicate ideas with others in the easiest way I find possible. Until I started college I was self taught. I work primarily with digital photography. The majority of my personal work involves constructing some sort of set or prop from my imagination which I try to make on my own, and I try to incorporate that in to commissioned work as well.
I graduated from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. I assist and retouch for commercial photographers as well as photograph weddings, product images, and capture everyday milestones for families in the area. I am engaged to my wonderful fiancé, Cody. We met in middle school but didn’t start dating until we were in college and the rest is history! He proposed at the Detroit institute of Arts (where we had our first date). We also have a sweet old rottweiler who was a foster failure that we were only supposed to have for 4 weeks!
We spend most of our spare time catching up on new movies that have come out, building Legos, or playing board games. Fall Out Boy is my favorite band, if they are in town there is a 95% chance, you’ll catch me at their show (make sure you say hi!).My goal for the future is to travel more and even leave the continent some time, creating art while I do it! I look forward to getting to know you and working with you in the near future!
