About me
About me
I am a photographer living in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. I am extremely passionate about good food, singing, antiques, going on adventures with friends, and loving my cats.
I grew up near Philadelphia, and after attending college in Savannah, GA, moved to Philadelphia to pursue my career. Trying new and different foods is my vice, and has thus lead me to an array of travel experiences.
Why Philadelphia?
Philadelphia is truly the city of "Brotherly Love". Full of dozens of small neighborhoods and parks packed together, each section of Philadelphia is full of people who are passionate, real, and offer a wide variety of different life-styles and cultures that melt together to create a strong community that loves its city.
From its renowned museums, bustling sports arenas, intimate music venues, to the restaurants that make it one of the top "foodie" cities in America, Philadelphia has so much to offer, you will find yourself coming back for more, more than once.

Lloyd
Whiskey, cocktails, & fine fare
"Lloyd" Philadelphia is my bar of choice when I need a stiff scotch (80+ types) or a finely crafted cocktail. The style definitely makes me feel at home.

Interstate Draft House
New American/Southern
"Interstate Draft House" is a Philadelphia neighborhood bar. I highly recommend ordering the Fishtown Tea cocktail there, similar to a Long Island Ice Tea.
