About
Hi! I have been a photographer for over 8 years now! I started taking pictures when I was in 8th grade and taught myself the basics of photograhy and editing until I attended Western Michigan Univeristy to get my Bachelors in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Photography and Intermedia. I love to teach others and show them the fun and amazing things you can do with a camera.
I absolutly love photography and get very passionate when I'm working on or with somthing I enjoy. I enjoy the freedom photography allows me but also the people I have met through this art form.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching because I realized that I loved talking about photography so much. One of my good friends is an engineer and he asked me to help him with a camera and he is now taking pictures on manual and doing videography, the amount of pride I felt looking at his work drove to realize I loved teaching.

I have worked with all ages and skill levels before ranging from knowing nothing, to knowing the basics but wanting more.
