WHAT I SHOOT
My favorite things to shoot are cosplay/portrait and urban/landscape photography. I discovered the art of cosplay from my fiancé who is a magnificent cosplayer and started photographing her and her friends. I've noticed the cosplay world can be full of creepy people including photographers so as a cosplay photographer I've strived to create a warm and inclusive environment where any and all are welcomed and safe.

WHO I AM
Growing up I was known as the kid who would bring a camera where ever he went, l I was obsessed with cameras and trying to get a great shot even if it was just from a disposable Kodak camera but as I grew older my interest started to shift towards playing music.
As stores were opening back up in 2021 after the pandemic I walked into my local camera store on a whim and found a cheap 35mm point and shoot camera and said "why not." This moment reignited my passion for photography of all kinds and I immediately jumped right back in from where I left off.
MY BACKGROUND
I was born in Omaha, Nebraska and raised in the Baltimore, Maryland area. I am a classically trained tubist with a bachelors degree from Towson University in Tuba Performance and a masters degree in Tuba Performance from Indiana University of Pennsylvania where I currently am finishing a post bachelors and certification in Music Education and a minor in Digital Photography. I currently reside with my fiancé, two cats, and dog in Pittsburgh, PA.
