I’ve always had a love affair with nature. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I was lucky enough to have forests, lakes, and mountains as my playground. My childhood was filled with fishing trips, hikes, and camping adventures, and it’s where I learned that nature has this incredible ability to bring us peace, perspective, and a deeper connection to ourselves. It was only natural that my love for nature blossomed into a passion for photography. What started with capturing sunsets and landscapes soon turned into a journey of photographing people—their stories, their emotions, and those fleeting moments that can only be captured through a lens.

To me, photography is more than just snapping a photo. It’s about creating a space where you can be yourself—where you can laugh, relax, and let your true personality shine through. I believe that every person carries a story, and my goal is to help tell yours through images that feel genuine and timeless. Whether we’re shooting in the middle of a forest, on a breezy beach, or simply in the comfort of your own backyard, my goal is to bring out the connection between you and the world around you.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me exploring a new hiking trail, spending time with my son, or working as a hospice aide, where I’m reminded daily of how precious life’s moments truly are. Photography, like caregiving, has taught me the beauty of being present—of recognizing the little moments that matter most.

If you’re looking for someone who will not only take your photos but also capture the essence of who you are, then we’re a perfect match. I’d love to be part of your journey and help preserve your memories in a way that feels real, personal, and completely you.

Let’s go on this photographic adventure together!
