I got my very first DSLR camera in 2009 and I had no clue how to use it.  I used this same camera through all of my photography classes in college.  I quickly learned to depend more on my editing skills to make my photos look good.  My camera took decent photos, but they never looked the way I had imagined. Photoshop became my best friend as it helped me to create beautiful images that expressed what I saw in my creative mind.

Most of the retouching I have done has been on portraits. I love enhancing a person’s beauty and making their best features really pop. Below are some of my favorite photos from the past three years.
