Growing up, I always had the same answer to the ever present question - "What do you want to be when you're older?" My answer - "A superstar!". Luckily, I realized early on in life that it was not going to work out quite that way.

I am a student at Cal State University, Fullerton, majoring in Photo Communications. I started working for my familys company, Carcano DJ (www.carcanodj.com), at 15 years old. After a couple of years of working in the industry, I began going to weddings to help DJ. While helping out, I also took photos of our lighting designs at the weddings. Now, years later, I finally found what my passion is in life. And fortunately, I have been able to start making a career out of that passion.

I love capturing peoples raw emotions in every form. Being able to stop a moment in time and save that memory for future generations is something that will always be exciting to me. Photographs are one of the only visual memories from an event. The eyes and smile of a person speaks volumes in a photo. It is my job to bring those words to life through photography.
