What do you love most about Berkley?
I absolutely love the small town vibe, and the tightly knit community.
What inspired you to start your business? Or, what do you love most about the business you work for?
I had always loved photography from afar, but never pulled the trigger and purchased a camera. At my last job we had a shop camera for taking pictures of parts to sell online. Once I started using it I fell in love immediately. I saved up to purchase a camera of my own, then put my head in every book & video I could find for the next few years. After a while I started shooting events and weddings, started a business, and never looked back.
When you’re not working, what do you do that brings you joy?
Working out, Hiking, camping, exploring new places, taking photos, and building things (physical items or online systems).
What Berk Perk discount are you offering?
