I'm not famous or terribly ambitious, but I do have a love for photography and all things beautiful. I'm 20 years-old and an upcoming student of cosmetology. I've loved using a camera since I was 11 years-old, my first picture being one I took of my grandma as she looked wistfully through a window, holding her chin up with a frail hand. The way I feel from looking at that picture from long ago compels me to continue taking pictures today, having realized how cameras can capture a moment and seal it forever. I don't claim to be any good; my goal is not to be an expert, but to capture the essence of a person as I see them and share it with everyone else.

Sometimes, however, I do love a bit of "dress up"... While I love photography, I have an even greater love for the art of makeup and exterior coordination. Often, I am responsible for:

- makeup
- hair
- fashion coordination

in my photographs.

Critics are more than welcome to comment! While I already know I have much to improve, it is always a pleasure to find out what people like to see. Please speak freely. Thank you!
