I have always said that if I were to ever have the opportunity to do something to make people smile and take a little bit of a load off of those in need, I would do it without thought.

I am the product of what is known as a "broken home." My mom, she's my hero. She worked 3 jobs at once at times to make sure that we had food on the table and gifts under the Christmas tree for my siblings and I. We grew up on hotdogs and Mac and cheese and at times had no electricity or heat. She taught us compassion. She taught us honesty. She taught us to love one another.

I am a photographer that was born and raised in the Detroit area. I know what it feels like to not be able to afford school portraits or hot lunches. I want to make people smile. I want to show people and families that money doesn't matter. Love matters.

I recently bought a 1986 Fleetwood Bounder and have completely remodeled it.

My dream and goal is to make stops all over the US and photograph people and families that are not able to afford professional portraits and give them a free artistic memory.
