I'm a photographer based in Conroe, Texas, but long before photography became a business, it was just something I loved. My mom had an old Canon T5, and when I picked it up for the first time, something just clicked. I didn't know exactly where photography would take me, but I knew I wanted to keep doing it. And here I am.

Over the years, I've photographed just about anything I could point a camera at. I spent a lot of time shooting sports, but portraits have become what I love most. I still offer sports photography, but no matter what I'm shooting, I love capturing people as they are.

WHY I PHOTOGRAPH

The thing I love most about photography isn't the camera. It's what happens in front of it—the laugh that wasn't planned, the look someone gives the person they love, or the personality that comes out when someone forgets there's a camera pointed at them. Those moments can be easy to overlook, but photographs have a way of reminding us just how much they mean.

That's what I want to give people—not just a gallery of nice pictures, but photographs that actually feel like you.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING

I know being in front of a camera can feel weird. You might not know how to pose, feel awkward, or have no idea what to do with your hands. That's okay. You don't have to know how to be a model. That's my job.

I'll give you direction when you need it, keep things moving, crack a few jokes, and give you space to just be yourself. Some of my favorite photographs happen when people stop trying to look perfect and start having fun.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

Outside of photography, you'll probably find me hanging out with friends and family, watching YouTube, or—if we're being completely honest—sleeping. I'm a pretty silly guy, I love making people laugh, and I'm usually smiling because I genuinely love being around people.

I'm also a bit of a nerd. I love photography, videography, video games, and yes... even chess. And one thing most people don't know about me? I love to sing.

SO, WHY PHOTOGRAPHY?

I've always loved the idea of holding onto something that would otherwise disappear. A moment only happens once. People change, seasons change, and life moves forward. But a photograph gives you a way back.

Years from now, I want you to look at your photographs and remember the people, the laughter, the chaos, and the little things you didn't realize you'd miss. Most of all, I want you to remember how it felt.

That's why I photograph.
