It all started when my friends and I were looking through photos. Not only did I realize that I had few photos of the events of my life, but the photos I did have lacked quality and a story. I felt like I had so many memories and stories to tell, but nothing to remind me of them—a portfolio of my experiences, if you will.

So then, I started taking photos with an old camera. These photos documented my life and unleashed memories upon just looking at them. I started to dive deep into photography, and the more I discovered the more curious I grew. Skiing, school prom, cars, and the places I have traveled were all documented on my computer. This passion has not only helped me record memories but has taught me how to illustrate the uniqueness and beauty of others. Photography has given me an undying passion and thousands of photos to tell the stories that I recorded.
