Life is precious and our time here is limited. I believe in living life in the moment and to its fullest. For me, photographs help me relive past experiences. They rekindle a nostalgic feeling of a memory that a place, touch, or an emotion evoked. I try to incorporate that idea into my work by capturing all the in-between moments—intimate, candid shots feed my soul. I'm here for all the messy hair, belly laughs, and genuine smiles. Deep down, I am a storyteller. For stories help shape who we are—our personalities, connections, decisions, desires, and so on. They are fundamental to discovering ourselves as individuals and what we are drawn to in life. In my experience, the best stories are often messy, unscripted, and unapologetically beautiful. So while you have the time, don't be afraid to enjoy and get completely lost in the special moments of your life. I'll be here to document it so that you can relive them again and again.
