Hey everyone! I wanted to share a little about who I am and how my journey as a photographer began.

Let’s rewind back to 2010. I was just a teenager when one of my closest friends, Nikk Wong, introduced me to something that would completely change my life—a Canon 5D Mark II. At the time, I had no idea that one camera would spark a passion that would shape who I am today. I still have that same camera, and it reminds me where it all started.

Photography gave me more than a hobby—it gave me purpose. There’s something incredibly rewarding about capturing a moment, bringing it to life through editing, and seeing the joy on someone’s face when they receive their photos. Knowing that I’ve preserved a memory they’ll look back on for years is what keeps me inspired every single day.

Looking back, I realize photography didn’t just become my passion—it helped me find a new appreciation for life. It taught me to slow down, see beauty in everyday moments, and connect with people in a way I never imagined.

If there’s one thing I’d like to leave you with, it’s this: if you discover something that truly excites you, don’t be afraid to chase it. It doesn’t matter if it takes days, months, or even years to improve. Every expert started as a beginner. Keep learning, keep creating, and keep believing in yourself. The journey is worth it when you’re doing something you genuinely love.
