Becoming a photographer wasn't something I had planned. I simply enjoyed having a camera with me, starting with a basic film camera in high school and later carrying my first digital camera on deployments while serving in the United States Marine Corps. As I traveled and experienced new places, the camera came along with me, becoming a natural way to document the people, places, and moments that made up my life. At the time, photography was simply something I enjoyed.

​

That changed after I relocated to the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by mountains, forests, and coastlines, I began seeing the world differently through the lens. The artist in me started to come to life. I became more intentional about light, composition, perspective, and storytelling. What had once been a way to document life became a way to interpret it, to create images with purpose and emotion.

​

Today, photography has grown into my profession. I work with businesses, individuals, and organizations to create imagery that feels authentic and tells a story. Whether I'm capturing a person, a business, a vehicle, or a moment within a community, I approach each project with the same goal: to create photographs that feel genuine, meaningful, and lasting.

 

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: every photograph should tell a story worth remembering. I look forward to helping tell yours.
