My amazing journey with photography started in 2009 when I bought my first DSLR camera. My rowdy son was 5 years old then and my lovely angel of a daughter was just born. My beautiful wife and I decided to “invest” in a good camera for taking portraits of our young family through the coming years.

​

At first, I was under pressure to produce good pictures to justify the cost of the equipment. Because prior to this, we only had a point and shoot camera. And so I spent hours practically every night after work learning. I was going through books and tutorials on YouTube - DSLR basics, understanding camera features, post-processing tools and techniques and learning more about the art of photography. 

 

Just like anything else, I got better with lots of practice and I came to a point where I was being inspired by the photos I was taking. There was something about being able to capture a moment with the emotions that came with it. It really drive me to master the skills necessary to capture a scene exactly as I see it... as I experienced it.

​

I guess in a way these precious but fleeting moments were just too valuable for me not to capture in a photograph. There are few things in this world that can bring one genuine joy. And a good picture is one of them.

​

As I look back at the pictures I’ve taken through the years, I realize we’ve been given countless blessings to be grateful for. And if you really think about it, each moment is a blessing. They all eventually come together to form a bigger picture of a beautiful life that you were meant to have.

​

This is the backbone of my photography work. It is my goal for my images to help you remember your special moments, your dreams and aspirations... what matters most. I look forward in sharing some moments with you in this wonderful journey called Life. To remembering what matters most,

 

Cheers!
