I am 21 yrs old and I live in New York City. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and lived there until I was 12 years old. I trusted Christ as my Savior when I was 10 years old, but my young faith was soon tested when I moved two years later. My family moved to Cumberland, Iowa, where I went to junior high, high school, and eventually Hawkeye, a two year college where i received an Associates Degree in photography. Two weeks after my college graduation, I moved to New York and became a photo assistant.
My senior year of high school, God really changed my perspective about photography. He filled me with a passion to glorify him through my camera lens. Ever since that year, it seems as though I've been on a roller coaster, watching God work mightily as He provided for me. I learned to wait on Him and trust in His perfect timing when I was accepted into photography school days before classes began. While I was in college, God nurtured both my heart and my gifts, maturing in my faith and the art of photography.
The biggest step of faith has been moving to New York City. I have learned to rely on God for everything and look for His glory revealed each day. I know that God is my Sole Provider and I am so grateful.
