How the story began….

In 2013 I had a tremendous idea of buying a camera and becoming a photographer. I had no idea of what to shoot. I know I loved looking at photos of landscape. I loved looking through albums of people getting married. I stopped for a second and thought to my self “what draw’s my attention to these photos.” After contemplating on that question it came to me. These photos are inspirational. In life you can receive inspiration from anywhere.

Inspiration can be found any where. I once seen a cup of coffee on instagram and it inspired me to go to Starbucks. Unfortunately I don’t drink coffee however they do have great pastries ha-ha. Outside of inspiration I wanted people to be emotionally connected to the work I did.

When someone is emotionally connected it becomes a part of them. For example if you find a new show on Netflix’s you watch the first season. If it is a good show it will have you emotionally invested. It will have you wanting to more. You would actually take the time out to learn a little more about the actors. That was how I wanted my viewers to feel. I wanted my viewers to be anxious to wait for the next publishing of my work.

Where did my inspiration come from? I am glad you asked J. I have a few photographers that I follow and admire the work they do. When I got inspired to do wedding photography I would go and watch Jasmine Star and Jana Williams. These two ladies have been an amazing inspiration to how I got started. They both have been both so open on the ups and downs of photography. One last person I have been inspired by just this year is Peter McKinnon. Boy does he bring so much energy to his work. He teaches so much and brings so much raw energy to his videos and vlogs. It could be 12 o’clock at night and I would look at my camera and be like what should I go photograph tonight.

For all my viewers that is reading this blog. I hope my story and my inspirational work can inspire you to do anything you want in life…. Until next time…
