It’s been awhile.

It’s been a while since I last posted a blog update. I recently started a new job, and the workload has been quite hectic, but I feel like I’ve finally found my footing. Despite the busy schedule, I’ve continued photographing around the DMV area, capturing some stunning landscapes, wildlife, and street scenes. I highly recommend checking out my updated portfolio to see some of the latest shots I’ve taken.

On the personal front, these past few months have brought a lot of growth and changes. Balancing work and photography has been challenging but rewarding, and I’m excited to keep pushing creatively while maintaining a steady routine. Looking forward to sharing more stories and images soon. Thanks for following along!

12 Months of Great Falls!

Earlier this year, I visited Great Falls after our first snowstorm and captured a serene winter landscape. The scene ignited my imagination and led me to ponder how much this beautiful park transforms throughout the year.

Inspired by this thought, I made a resolution: I am determined to visit Great Falls every month, capturing a photograph that showcases the seasonal changes. From the vibrant colors of spring blooms to the lush greens of summer, the rich autumn hues, and the quiet stillness of winter, each month will tell a unique story of nature's evolution.

This project will not only allow me to document the beauty of Great Falls in different seasons but also deepen my appreciation for the subtleties of nature. I look forward to sharing this journey through my lens, reflecting on the fleeting moments that make each visit special.

Year in Review: The Highs, Lows, and What’s Next

As 2024 comes to a close, it's an opportune moment to reflect on the year that has shaped my work and creative journey. Each season brought distinct landscapes and opportunities for exploration, allowing me to expand my portfolio and refine my techniques.

In the spring, vibrant blooms adorned the parks, showcasing a tapestry of colors that inspired my landscape photography. Summer brought longer days and ideal conditions for capturing the dynamic movement of wildlife in their natural habitats. The crisp autumn air provided the perfect backdrop for street photography, as life bustled through the streets and leaves danced to the ground.

Finally, winter wrapped up the year with its tranquil beauty and cold mornings that has wildlife working much harder creating unforgettable encounters. Each photo taken this year is a testament to the moments and stories that define our everyday lives, reinforcing my passion for photography and the art of observation.
