I have been an amateur photographer for almost a decade now. Mostly for hobby with the occasional paid shoot. I was born and raised in New Jersey until I was 27, when I moved to Southern California, which i consider home for 12 years now. Having east coast city roots definitely influences what I shoot in this contrasting coastal environment. In the past I focused mostly on travel, outdoor, and lifestyle photography, but now being a little more settled, I shoot more 'everyday' style photos of surrounding neighborhoods and my family.
