Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by the magic of photography. My father’s Canon A-1 film camera was like a portal to our adventures, freezing moments in time that we shared as a family. Those snapshots are like time capsules, reminding me of every wild, wonderful place we visited together.

​

In elementary and high school, my dad handed me my first disposable camera (my ticket to the world of photography!). I later upgraded to digital point-and-shoots, snapping shots on every field trip, capturing goofy faces and heartfelt moments with my friends. Getting those photos developed was like opening a treasure chest filled with memories—it didn’t matter that I was just playing around. It was all about the joy of reliving those moments.

​

Then came my twenties, and I finally got my hands on my first DSLR, a Nikon D5100. That’s when my photography journey really began to bloom. I dove headfirst into the creative side, studying techniques, styles, and the art of capturing candid moments and golden hour magic. Every shot became a new way to tell a story.​​
