About

 

I feel so lucky to call this my job. I love getting to meet new people and further develop relationships with those who come back to work with me year after year. Watching kids grow up in front of my camera feels like a privilege, and getting to witness some of the biggest milestones in people’s lives is truly remarkable.

I’m fiercely loyal, obsessed with light, art, and am pretty highly motivated by good food and drink. I believe in the inherent value of every human being and work to capture something of the metaphysical in each portrait I take. If I can make a photograph that captures a bit of someone’s essence that their loved ones recognize and can hang onto forever, I’m happy. It’s a tall order, but I’m up for the challenge.

My days consist of making pictures, working in our garden, doing my best to love others and be an active part of my community, raising up three amazing kiddos with my soul mate and thanking my lucky stars for all of it. I never want to take it for granted. Thanks for making this life possible.
