> TWO PLAYERS
HERE'S A SNIPPIT OF ME: I'M JUST A kid at heart and self-proclaimed nerd WHO HAS NEVER REALLY FIT IN, WHO spent MY school years in baggy ozzy osbourne t-shirts, buried in fantasy novels about dragons, playing role-playing video games, and screaming lyrics in the pit at live shows with my friends trying to escape my reality (and surprise - not much of this has changed).
ALTERNATIVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
i DON’T HAVE the perfect family portrait to display FROM my wedding day... I lost my dad to his battle with alcoholism at the age of 13. then I LOST MY GRANDPA TO A BATTLE WITH CANCER ON MY 16TH BIRTHDAY. and obviously there's a lot more story in between those two sentences.
my mom, sister, and i dropped everything IN 2013 AND LEFT our trailer park in illinois TO run off to colorado – TO start over, and it's MADE all the difference.
i'm telling you this because it directly affects you: i was dealt a hand that has UNIQUELY SHAPED me, and now that SHAPES MY ART AND THE IMPORTANCE I PLACE IN EXACTLY HOW I CAPTURE THESE MOMENTS FOR YOU.
I’m putting my heart and soul into your happiest memories, so that you have more than three photos left to remember once all this is over. because i've been there. BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT ME, AND I care a whole lot ABOUT YOU.
"ISN'T ART A KIND OF
COMMEMORATION OF PAIN?
