I have always loved taking photos since a young age. I was the one forever trudging around at family functions and school taking photos of everyone.

Photography became my passion when I was 14 years old. It was my first time visit here in Washington and my sister along with her husband took me to see Mt. St. Helens.

It was Wintertime and I was in awe by the stunning beauty of the landscape covered in snow. I wanted to capture it more than anything while being there. My sister was nice enough to lend me her camera and ever since, I have been taken by the beauty of this State and it grew to a tremendous enjoyment for capture everything around me.

Next to landscape, as of now I also take joy in photographing people; for everyone is unique art to me and I love finding endless sides and secrets within one's eyes and smile.

Because of this, Portraits are an immense favorite of mine. I have many posted around my room of those I admire.

Also, I enjoy taking photos of my room, landscape, sunsets/the sky and sometimes, objects.

Another favorite is photographing Gigs. At times it can be my weak point in my photography but finding such raw material in a human being when they are in connection with their music is quite incredible to me and I love it.
