I’m on a mission to tell stories with light, love, and a little play.

“Capturing light with a box” is how my college professor defined photography. Simple, yet profound.

It’s a funny thing to think about all of the seasons of life my camera has been with me since then. It kept me sane during COVID, it brought me joy when the shutdown ended, and it has connected me to some of the most beautiful souls I know.

After the pandemic, I did a photography gallery to tell the story of that period during that time through images. People told me, “The photos are good, but oh, the words!”

Together, the writing pen and the camera created a narrative that people connected with—some more deeply than others.

I share this story with you because this is the heart of photography for me. It’s not just about the images. It’s about the stories behind them—stories of light, love, and beauty. Stories of real people with real pain and real dreams come true.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to capture your life in some of the best moments you will ever have! It’s truly so special, and I promise to tend to every client with care and the utmost encouragement. I will always be there to hype you up!

If you ask people who I am, those who know me deeply will likely tell you that I am a creative with a wild sense of wonder. Might I add that I am curious to discover what is beyond surface level—what makes a person tick, why they love what they do, and who they are when no one is looking. I was raised on a farm in rural Nebraska, where I learned what it was to love my neighbor and work hard.

And today, it’s a pleasure to serve you through photos and words. Thanks for stopping by! Don’t be a stranger.
