my PURPOSE… 

When I decided to become a full time professional photographer around three and half years ago, I went in with the mindset that I wanted to make a difference with my photography. I wanted to give people a different perspective on life and how I perceive it. I truly wanted to change the world, or so I thought…BUT then I had to figure out how to pay my bills as well, so I immediately changed my game plan and started to shoot everyday clients taking on portraits, weddings etc. Please don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love what I do, the people I meet and interact with on a daily bases are what drives me, BUT the creative side of me, or I should say, the curious side of me sometimes takes a back seat and that makes me sad and empty inside.

Today this changes! I have been working on and off for the past month trying to redesign my website to accommodate my latest venture on trying to pursue my dream of doing my part to make a difference in this world. So, I’ve designed this new look with hopes it will develop organically with great stories and amazing images. I not only want to excel as a photographer in my personal work, but I also want to document or expose certain elements in the art.music.culture world that exist here in Orange County. What does that mean??? LOL, I have no idea right this second, but I know it involves all aspects of cultural lifestyles. I am a very curious person and now want to explore more of my curiosity in the world of art and culture. Beyond that, I highly encourage your interaction, good or bad. I’m totally cool with all feedback and in return I promise to keep things rad and interesting.

For my clients that are wondering where I went or want to see my portrait/wedding work, please view my daily studio work at the COCO Gallery website.
