Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana. With over 10 years of photography and cinematography experience, I fell in love with capturing exquisite pictures and settings. I’d like to share my skills with those interested in the craft. Be it photo shoot, short films, commercials, or editing: I’d like to work with you.
I am now a Film/TV major at Savannah College of Art and Design based in Georgia, USA. To top it off, I’m a Dean’s List freshman, so I know a long yet worth-while college career awaits for me.
It comes without saying there is no easy "goodbye". I say this as this was my final film before I moved away from my hometown to begin college. This film demonstrated the passing of what was essentially the foundation of my career as a filmmaker.
So, no. Saying "goodbye" is not easy, but letting time pass you by IS. Cherish every moment.
