I've always been a bit of a beach bum at heart. Growing up near the coast in Northern California, I spent countless summers soaking up the sun and playing in the waves with my siblings. There's something about the smell of saltwater and the sound of seagulls that just makes me feel alive.

As I got older, I started to develop a passion for photography. I loved capturing the beauty of the natural world - from the intricate patterns on a butterfly's wings to the way the light danced across the waves. I spent hours poring over my grandfather's old cameras, learning everything I could about the art of photography.

Eventually, I decided to pursue photography as a career, and I've been lucky enough to travel all around the world capturing stunning images for various clients. But no matter where life takes me, I always make sure to return to my beloved beach - it's a place that feels like home, where I can relax and recharge.
