A BIT OF about me...

I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX and I am a 26 year-old local Texas photographer, your photographer as a matter of fact! My love of photography took off when I was gifted a generation 4 iPod touch and it was my first official "camera". Not the best quality and I had my fair share of the cringiest photos that were way too dramatic, but a lot of fun. In my junior year of high school, I thought I'd try a different elective: photography class. My mother bought me my first ever Canon Rebel DSLR camera and I could not stop taking photos. I actually still use that camera to this day. 10 years and counting, she still works like new. She's my old reliable.

I didn't always stay in San Antonio. Once I graduated high school, I went off (not too far away, but just enough) to Austin, TX. I attended the best university in Texas, The University of Texas at Austin. It took some time to find what I wanted to study, but eventually and by chance, my major found me! One small conversation with a classmate whose name I cannot remember led me to apply to the advertising program. The fact that advertising was both art and strategy really intrigued me.

I currently have a full-time job that I enjoy and have the opportunity to express my creativity and skills. With that being said, there could be a chance I will not be available some weekends to do photo sessions, or the editing/delivery period may be extended, but I will always communicate that with you!

It's so nice to meet you, and I hope I am the right fit. Take some time to look through my portfolio and see if my style of photography matches your vision!

Talk to you soon! <3
