WELCOME

Hi my name is Chris! For as long as I can remember I've had this deep passion for living life to the fullest and inspiring others to do the same.

This passion came alive in a new way when I discovered photography (or more accurately, when photography discovered me!). Suddenly, I found a way to slow down, shift the focus off of myself, to savor life deeply, to learn, to grow and ultimately to heal! All while doing with with such an amazing community of creatives! And so many of those people taught me how to capture better photos and more importantly, how to thrive!

So basically, that's why I'm here today - to share what I’ve learned (and to learn from you!) in the hopes that we can collaborate in this process of pursuing how to capture better photos and make the world a better place.
