“Papa. My dad treats everyone around him with such joy and love, and it has pushed me to do the same. He is one of the easiest people to talk to in the world, and through being his daughter I’ve learned how to make friends in a bowling alley, bar, ballpark, or anywhere.

From a young age, my dad instilled in me, the desire to pursue my dreams. I am so encouraged and delighted by how he continues to do that in his everyday life through his passion for photography.”
