Los Angeles, CA

I am a young, energetic photographer with great experience and I am constantly looking for new opportunities and challenges to broaden my photographic skills. I love what I do and I love sharing it with everyone I meet, whether it's friends or clients. I've shot a wide variety of subjects from sporting events in major stadiums to studio portraits and I am continuously looking for new and interesting work. I photograph because I love it. I love everything about it from meeting and working with clients to setting up shoots to editing and I feel that it really shows in my work.

I am also an Apple Certified Technician in hardware and software and have over 6 years of experience working with technology including working for Apple Inc. for over 4 years as a Genius Administrator.
