A decade plus taking photos 📸

I actually found out that I bought my first DSLR over 10 years ago. I saved up for a whole summer so that I could buy a Canon Rebel T5i. Little did I know that my curiosity would morph into a passion and ultimately turn into my career. I wish I still had that T5i, but sold it years ago to buy my first mirrorless camera

From the mountains of Colorado to the busy streets of Chicago to concert venues all over the states, it’s pretty wild to see how far that one decision has taken me. What started as a hobby is now something that I actually get paid to do (still baffles me sometimes). I’ve still never taken a formal class for photography. Learning from friends, YouTube University, and a whole lot of trial and error has gotten me here

I’m excited to see what the next decade has in store!

Life Is Good. Keep Going.

Postcards from Chicago 🏠

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Dehancer Pro plug-in and I wanted to use it to bring some nostalgia to my video postcards. Safe to safe, it did not disappoint 🤘

I dropped a full review of the plug-in on my YouTube, link in bio!

Life’s been moving lately. Few shows, few shoots, few rounds, a lot of friends, and one cat

MKE 🎂

Took a trip up to Milwaukee to celebrate my 30th. A lot of beer, curds, and steps were had. It was fun to bring the Fuji along to capture moments over the weekend. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, appreciate you all!
