I guess I’ve never thought of myself as a “travel photographer”… it’s just something I’ve always done. Take a trip, bring my camera, take pictures. But somewhere along the way, I actually got pretty good at it. There has always been this craving within me to capture the people and places that are so different...

Parents of seniors tell me the same thing after graduation: "I wish I`d taken more photos."
Not just the big events, the everyday moments too. The messy bedroom. Late-night homework. Running out the door to practice.
Those are the ones you`ll miss the most, and they`re yours to catch, not mine.
I made a free list of the 27 photo moments worth capturing before graduation. Comment SENIOR and I`ll send it straight to your DMs.

I made a free checklist of all 27 moments worth chasing before graduation, homework at the counter, the messy bedroom, the last game, all of it.
Comment SENIOR and I`ll send it your way.
