Hi there! Welcome to my portfolio. I've always enjoyed taking pictures but don't really trust social media for picture-posting, so here we are!
My journey with photography began in middle school, sparked by a rabid interest in making videos. Many hours of YouTube later led me to bug my Mom into taking me to a BestBuy well before daybreak on a Black Friday, where I bought my first DSLR. Since then, I've been on a journey of learning and improvement, pouring my time and money into this amazing hobby.
While I've shot a few weddings and events, my true passion lies in capturing the beauty of nature and those little moments that make life special. Lately, my focus has been on astrophotography and planes. The 2024 solar eclipse got me hooked on shooting the night sky, and since I have the equipment for it now I'm excited to keep aiming higher. Conveniently, that same gear is also helping me to photograph airplanes! I'm planning to photograph a few airshows this Summer, so if any of the shots turn out well, you'll see them on the Planes page!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to connect.
Gear
I'm currently shooting on a Sony A7IV with a few lenses. My two primary lenses are the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art lens as my daily driver, as well as the Sony FE 200–600mm F5.6–6.3 G OSS. The 200-600 paired with a 2x teleconverter has been integral to my astrophotography but am also hoping to leverage the pair for some plane photography. I also own the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens from before I switched to Sony, and that along with an adapter comes in handy for some nifty macro shots.
Many of the shots in my portfolio come from my initial DSLR, the Canon T2i along with a few kit lenses. It's since been retired to a bag somewhere under a pile of stuff, but it served me well and will be remembered fondly!
