Since the age of fourteen, I have taken photographs of everything in my life, from trips to family gatherings and my passion has grown. A couple of years ago I read a book called "The Passion Plan" and in doing so learned ways in which I can discover and make my passion work for me.The first step for me was self realization for what my passion is. As I discovered, I have several, one being photography. Later on while working construction I then came to the conclusion, even though I was traveling and doing well for myself, I was still missing something in my life. I decided to see if I could make one of my passions work for me. I am now going through a transition in my life taking one of my passions and turning it into a profession.Now professional photographer, Illinois' premier photographer for Models Desired , and website owner, HotShot Photography , I am discovering something new everyday. I do not claim to be better than any other photographer, my style is all of its own. My goal is the connection between the people I'm photographing and the person viewing the photos. I want the most realistic views of life through my eyes, sometimes this means the photos are more telling than the ones that other photographers do where the person is just looking off into space and there is no connection.In addition to photography, I love to travel. I believe if there is a will there is a way. I am very posotive, finding the good in every situation. I focus on the happy thoughts to keep me going everyday. I love to take pictures documenting life. I enjoy my passion and helping others to discover theirs. I believe you must love yourself before someone else can love you.
