i was born in bosnia and raised in germany and the united states. my parents are strong, positive people and encouraged me to do what i love, no matter the circumstance. growing up, my father's pentax was always present, and i quickly learned to love both this camera and the creativity this tool offered. i studied at brooks institute in santa barbara, with an emphasis in lifestyle, travel and portraiture. i love to capture people in their environment - whether a dancer, artist, chef or newlywed - i use a variety of modes and cameras to create a narrative series of beautiful moments, resulting in a unique, ever-lasting story.
