How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Oooh I would have to say affectionate, outgoing and adventurous
What does your go-to playlist consist of right now?
It definitely depends on the mood I’m in. I love any kind of music that gives off acoustic vibes. Right now I’d say my go-to artists are Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes, Sia and Khalid.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I always love exploring new destinations (especially new restaurants), taking photos and spoiling my dogs whenever I get the chance to.
What kind of camera(s) do you have?
Canon DSLR & GoPro Hero 5
How did you first get involved with photography?
I would say that I developed my love for it from my older brother who has been in the photography/film business for the last 5+ years now. He actually graduated from UWM a couple years ago!
What is your favorite thing to photograph?
Nature is always something I enjoy capturing because it’s always changing and not one photo is ever the same. I also love getting a good shot of someone who doesn’t exactly know I’m taking a photo of them.
What do you enjoy most about the photos you take?
I find myself often becoming visually inspired by just the shot of one thing, which is what encourages me to continue taking photos.
Do you hope to someday make a profession out of your photography skills?
I could see it maybe as a side business possibly for weddings, senior pictures or just for fun! I’m definitely going to continue taking photos for my own pleasure though!
What’s your favorite thing about fall?
I love watching the weather change, it’s definitely my favorite season to capture great photos!
