My passion for photography first started back in high school when a teacher of mine had a stack of National Geographic magazines in the classroom. My interest in photography was immediately sparked when I first saw the amazing photographs inside the magazine. From that moment, I made a commitment that one day I would buy a camera and bring my images to life in hopes that others might experience the same type of inspiration. For the past several years, I've been photographing various types of people, landscapes, and various settings. With each photo, I aspire to capture a moment in history. Also, I'm a volunteer photographer at the Missouri Botanical Garden and a volunteer videographer at the New Life Evangelistic Center, Channel 24.
