A lover for golden hours, moody vibes, and sun flares
—
Growing up, I was a little camera shy. I would avoid family photos at reunions, and I hated when my mom would make me pose next to my cousins, always a little conscious about my short hair or glasses. Even as a child, I was afraid of how I looked or dress and didn’t want that moment to be captured.
It wasn’t until later in my teen years that I began to enjoy being in front of the camera when a high school best friend made me feel pretty for the very first time with her camera. I was shocked at how I looked and was amazed that she was able to make me feel good about my physical traits. She gave me a confidence that I didn’t have before and taught me how important it was to capture those moments. From there, my interest in photography grew and I was not only interested in the beauty but also the story each picture portrays.
I can never forget that feeling of suddenly being able to see how other people see me through their lens and that’s why I became the person behind the camera. I want to create an opportunity for those in front of my camera to see their own beauty and be proud. I want to be able to capture the emotions behind each of them and the stories that the picture holds.
I am still growing as a photographer. My style is fluid and flexible and never the same.
I am still growing as a photographer and I am still exploring what I like and don’t like. I absolutely love moody and dark photos because there is so many stories behind the images. But I also find myself drawn to vivid, colorful and bright photos that makes an image so incredibly magical.
So I dabble in both styles while I look for inspirations and find my way.
