For me photography is about capturing a moment in time that may never come again.
There is nothing more beautiful than the innocence of a child. I strive to capture this innocence in every child, be they 1 or 100. Do any of us ever really grow up?
I’ve had a camera since I was a teenager. I was a shy child and photography helped me to emerge from my shell. It never dawned on me that I could make a living capturing other people’s joy, hence I pursued a degree in electrical engineering and went on to earn my MBA at the University of Michigan. I picked up my first DSLR camera in 2010 with the hopes of capturing some great travel photographs for my home. I often purchased works of art in my travels and thought, why not make my own. I found my greatest joy in capturing the spirit of the people I encountered in each country I visited. As I took courses to improve my skills, I discovered that I could bring joy to others and continue to do what I loved. Hence I decided to pursue photography as a second profession.
