When I was in high school, I fell in love with photography for its magical qualities. I love how each person can photograph the same thing and create something entirely different. Capturing moments on film, then mixing chemicals in the darkroom, and watching my visions come to life hooked me from the beginning. Though I traded the darkroom processing for computer processing, I did not let go of my passion. My camera has taken me on many adventures over the years from the West Coast, to Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, South and Central America, Canda, and all over the United States. For me, it’s finding inspiring and new locations for photo shoots that gets me excited. I love to explore. You could call me an outdoor cat. I will always find any excuse to be outside and in motion, regardless of the weather, and I love a good adventure. My enthusiasm for trail running and hiking constantly fuels my hunt for inspiring photo shoot locations. I love discerning the unique features of the landscape and watching how natural light dances across the canvas.   When I put the camera down, you’ll find me hanging with Jess and our three girls, and hopefully outside participating in one of my favorite sports: running, hiking, skiing, disc golf, pickleball, paddleboarding, and camping.
