My name is Kyle, and I’m a transplant from Rockford, IL. I moved to NC in 2013, and I met my now wife in 2015. We got married in 2020 and had our first addition to the family in 2025. At the start of COVID, I discovered my love for photography. I found photography a way to see a different, more interesting perspective of life. Currently, I shoot wildlife and landscapes, but will occasionally shoot portraits. At times, I like to dabble in macro photography, abstract photography, fine arts photography, black and white photography, and pet photography. Currently, I work in IT, but my future goal would be to make photography my full-time job. As I’ve progressed in my photography journey, I have found it rewarding to tell a story in my pictures or capture moments of emotion.
