Photography Table of Contents
I got my first DSLR when my dog, Leila, was a year old, and I was scheduled to travel to 2 U.S. cities and 2 other countries in a 6-month period. I see the most amazing things in life and I wanted to be able to capture photos as I saw the scenes.
Over the years, I’ve consumed a lot of photography education from online classes, professional organizations, conferences, workshops with big-name photographers, and in-person classes.

Photo Stories
I got to a point in my photography where I knew how to make the photo that I wanted to make with any given scene. I had a lot of photos that I couldn’t sell as stock, so I started a photo story blog series. I made written stories to go along with some of my favorite photos.
