I'm Jared Thieme and I am on a mission to photograph every hidden beach on the West Coast. I grew up in San Francisco, California, where my love for amazing sunsets and changing cityscapes was born. After pursuing my career in soccer for many years, I finally hung up my cleats after multiple injuries, but my passion for life didn't die there. I began to explore the world of photography and fell in love with the stories that each picture can tell. Blurring the line between fantasy and reality is what attracted me to photography. Each day is unique, especially when looking through a lens.
