I am a photographer. That shouldn't be a surprise; you wouldn’t be here otherwise. Let’s be honest though, you are here to look at photos, not read a life story. If you landed here by mistake, click that menu button in the top right to jump into my gallery.

Still here? Okay then. 

​

My journey started in high school. Photography 101 introduced me to the world of film, an experience I enjoyed but never became truly passionate about. It was not until digital cameras really started to take off that I found my passion. As a tech obsessed individual, the link between photography and my computer was just what I needed to get hooked. Carrying around a (very large) entry level digital camera for a Digital Imaging class, I took a set of photos that ignited the flame. These photos (don’t judge) are what made me think “I could do this.” 

​

Fast forward years later. I found myself doing portrait and event photography. While I was pleased with the work that I had done, I started to feel like taking photos was no more than a second job. The joy of creating art was being replaced with the pressure of other people's timelines and was not something I wanted any longer. I then discovered landscape and nature photography as a new outlet to inspire me to love the work again. I slowly transitioned away from portrait work and found myself out in nature, working at my own pace and capturing images of what I found beautiful and interesting. 

​

The transition from people to nature has allowed me to define my personal style. While I expect my work to continue to evolve over time, my style remains on the minimalistic side, focusing on particular elements of my surroundings.  In the end, though, I am simply looking to produce images I can be proud of. Images that look great on my wall and, hey, maybe yours too.
