Shooting RAW is like getting the unfiltered original negative straight from your camera’s sensor. You capture everything— every tiny detail, all the colors, all the dynamic range. This means you have a powerhouse of data to tweak later without losing quality. Underexposed? No problem. White balance off? Easy fix. Want to bring out details in those shadowy corners or punch up the highlights? RAW has your back.

I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. I hope it leaves behind more than just pictures—maybe a deeper understanding of art for me, a few powerful memories for the families I photograph, and maybe even the spark of creativity and entrepreneurship for my kids, too.

Photography adds a new layer to how I connect with people and moments. Through a camera lens, we get to capture those fleeting seconds—the kind that tell the truth even when words fall short. A photo is a kind of story, just without the charts.
