I am a sports and portrait photographer in Austin, Texas and I specialize in photo journalist style street photography with several years of school sports portrait photography. I have worked with over 10,000 students in 7 different countries teaching them about performing arts. Watching a student break out of their shells and be confident enough to be their own role model is the most fulfilling experience I can describe.I ensure that all subjects and surrounding personal are comfortable and I focus on being playful and understanding with all students. My parents opened our home to foster kids for 7 years of my childhood, with those experiences I have come to know that all walks of life deserve attention and appreciation for their accomplishments. I am eager to meet new people and capture moments of joy with them that will last forever.
My passion for School Picture Day photography
My nieces and nephew have gotten the pleasure of having me take all of there photos for after school activities like sports or birthday parties. I have also photographed for an NPO in Japan that helps orphans in a community home. While working with them I got to enjoy watching the staff help kids with forget about their difficult pasts and focus on having the best time they could with each other.
