I'm an artist and my medium of choice is photography. I love creating art for the joy it brings me and seeing how others can experience and be impacted by it. I enjoy shooting a variety of events and situations, and welcome any opportunities that may come my way. I love to bring my creative eye to my freelance work, but am no stranger to straightforward traditional photography.

 

Although I wasn't born here, I proudly call Buffalo my home and it is here that I strive to continue my enjoyment and the progression of my craft!
