Born in Oakland, California, and raised in Sacramento, California, I started my photography journey about six years ago, playing around on Photoshop when bored. I fell in love with the first picture I made from my high school senior picture. Since then, I started with my mobile phone, creating photos, then got my first camera, a Canon 80D, and learned and worked with others. I fell in love with being able to bring a smile to someone's face through a picture, telling stories and building people's confidence. As I continue my journey, I also love teaching others the skills I learned along the way.
