QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:




Q:Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

Q:What questions do customers most commonly ask you? 
A:How could you quit a job at one of the best companies ever?! I say because it's more important to me to live outside of the cubicle having human interaction & adventures while doing something you love.


Q:Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A:yes, every piece of my work has a fun story. My favourite is my "solo adventure" to new york city. I traveled around the east coast taking pictures and meeting people. I documented the entire thing in a VIDEO and have memories that will stick with me forever or my recent trip to the east coast. Read about it HERE.
Q:How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A:I was going to NYC in 2006 for the first time and I bought a nice camera. I took pictures, and somehow Hurley sponsored artshow wanted me to show my work at their Headquarters and in Los Angeles.

A:Weddings, families & babies are big on the schedule right now. I also love doing musician photography and headshots.
Q:Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

remember when...we went to Mammoth.

It was New Years Eve 2008. I worked with these talented guys at Hurley. We drove to Mammoth, stayed in a cabin straight out of "that 70's show" and stayed up late playing what I remember to be...a heated game of Mafia. Certain things stick out in my mind from this trip: one of the girls putting the wrong soap in the dishwasher and it flooded the entire kitchen. Staying at Starbucks late getting holiday drinks. Sharing a room with TommyA and laughing, A LOT.  Being impressed by how amazing Brynne was at snowboarding. I sure do miss these guys in my life....going into work every morning was the highlight of my day. Thanks for the memories guys<3
