This collection is for those inexplainable moments of growth and reflection in our lives. The ones that mold our past, our present, and our future. Those moments in time that define what it is to be human, and alive. It’s meant as a reminder to not forget what you’ve been through, both empowering and breaking, and to cherish every instance of our existence.

This collection represents the most impactful images I have been blessed with experiencing. These images have brought me to tears, filled my heart with joy, and reminded me why I am alive. It’s places and moments in time such as these, that inspire me to develop, to grow, and to push every day.

For me, beaches hold a lifeline. They are a sanctuary, a place to regenerate my soul, there among the sand and salty waves. These photos are an ongoing series from beaches from all around North America.

Have you ever experienced a place so magical you can’t tell if you are asleep or dreaming? For me, this place is Costa Rica. I experienced an entire world in this small, laid back country, where the motto is Pura Vida, “Pure Life”. From beautiful blue beaches full of local surfers, to majestic rainforests that are home to parrots, and sloths, and toucans, and every type of monkey you can imagine. For me this country is heaven.

The things we make, and the things we leave behind, matter. This collection is dedicated to those wonderous things we as humans will leave on this earth.

For me, Pride is the one day a year when everyone comes together, supports each other, and takes pride in who they are. It’s not just a celebration, or a big party, it’s us saying, we are here, and we love who we are!
