The name Soul & Grain stems from wanting to capture the story of your soul in my photographs. Photographs that make you feel something deep down when you look at them and to help you remember just how you were feeling at that time in your life. Every photograph I take, I put my heart & soul into making it something for you to remember for generations to come. My photos exhibit both soft & bold colors and have a grain texture to them. Looking through old grainy photographs, often evokes a sense of nostalgia in you and that’s what I want my photos to do to you in this lifetime...
or maybe the next!
