My favorite style of art is western-themed. I’ve always loved rodeos and horses—they just have this raw, beautiful energy to them. Most of my editing leans toward warm tones because I love that soft, golden, almost nostalgic feeling it gives. What I really enjoy most is creating a vision and then bringing it to life. There’s something so special about taking an idea and turning it into something real you can see and feel.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my inspiration comes from my family and friends—they’re the ones who keep me motivated and pushing forward. My faith has also played a huge role in my journey. I’m grateful to God for every opportunity, every new connection, and for helping me stay true to the vision He’s placed on my heart.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d start by helping my mom and dad financially. Then I’d put money toward my mortgage, invest in a new camera and a few lenses, and set some aside in savings. I’d also treat myself to a fun trip to capture new photos along the way.
