The easiest way for me to describe myself… I am a camera GEEK. I love being in front of the camera, behind the camera, talking to a camera, learning about cameras, using them  therefore enjoying them. When I think back to me being a kiddo, I was always infatuated with cameras. My Mom had one or two around the house, and I would always find myself playing and fumbling with them trying to turn 'em on. Yet, we never made the connection to actually put a camera in MY hands. Years later I learned that my Dad took photos when he was my age.

Fast-Forward--Now I'm 22

July 1'st will make my third year of shooting, and honestly now that I can call myself a Professional. I realize that picking up a camera has been one of the best decisions I could have made when moving back to ATL. The lessons it has taught me, the experiences that a camera has brought to me......the money it's made me. The connections and network I have now I would never have if it were not for the camera.
