Hello, I'm Lakief, a visual storyteller with almost a decade behind the lens. My journey started in my senior year, navigating through school production classes and evolving into a creator of meaningful content.

Over the years, I've rebranded a few times – from F8 to upnation – and now, I'm co-piloting a venture called Peak Influx with a dear friend. Beyond the camera, you'll find me immersed in thoughts of my next shot, spending quality time with loved ones, or exploring the great outdoors.

Born and bred in the picturesque Colorado Springs, my heart lies in capturing the essence of moments. As a dedicated Fujifilm enthusiast, my go-to companions are the XH2s and XT4 camera bodies. I ultimately want to take my passion and craft around the world and help Charities and non profits tell their stories.
