ABOUT me

Growing up in an artistic family with passions for acting, painting, and sketching, I found my calling in photography. I also have my regular day job as a service desk manager for an IT firm. My hobbies include playing videogames, watching anime & k-dramas, photo & video editing, and of course, photography!

  • Starting off as a personal hobby in high school, I’d say about 9 years. When it comes to photographing clients, I’ve been shooting for about 6 years now!

  • Being stationed around Kane County, I’m willing to drive up to 40 miles away! Travel fees will apply for shoots booked past that range.

  • My brother used to have this old Canon Rebel XT when I was around 8 years old. I’d always “borrow” it when he’d be away from the house, and try to shoot photos with it. I loved the idea of freezing a moment in life and being able to keep it forever to look at. It was up until high school where I wanted to pursue it even more so, with all the camera and photo editing software access I had in school!

  • I love shooting with the LUMIX S Series 85mm F1.8! The bokeh and low light capability is amazing! Plus I love shooting portraits with it.
