Photography

I started my career as a photographer during my junior year of high school in 2013. I had no formal education in photography and film making. As a matter of fact, I studied Aeronautical Science, a fancy way of saying flying airplanes. Little did I know that a single google search that made me fall in love with photography, and editing video games footage, would not only help me create a business that made me happy, but also change I approached my many other passions in life.

Destination Wedding Photographer by Sidney Baker-Green

I remember when I first met Jasmin: when she introduced herself, she said she was going to be a Disney princess. Most people laughed and kinda scoffed it off as if it would never happen. Fast forward four years and she is, you guessed it, a Disney princess. What really stands out about Jasmin is […]

Additionally, we also created some magic on the beach at Holland State Park. We were both inspired by Calvin Klein for this portion of the shoot. Both […]

A year ago, I photographed Austin for his senior photos. During his session, he talked about how he wanted to be a model. I encouraged him to chase those dreams. The only way you will find out if you’re capable of doing it is to simply try. Thankfully, Austin is finding the courage each and […]
