Strong roots produce beautiful leaves. They are the lifeline of a tree and what keeps a tree grounded and in place. Without the roots, there would be no tree.

Family and photography are the roots to my tree. They are both foundational to who I am and I wouldn’t be me without them. Truly, I need both to survive.

Family is my base, keeping me stable and focused, while photography is my leaves—colorful extensions of who I am that grow and change with the seasons.
