Health nut and animal lover extraordinaire. You’ll likely see my two shepherds sitting patiently in the corner of the portrait studio. I am recently engaged to that hunk in the photo above. My fiancé, Chris, deserves a lot of credit because he has played a huge role in making my craft what it is today.

I have had a camera in my hands since my sixth birthday. My parents got me a disposable camera that I carried around with me everywhere. Photography got its real start for me in high school. I saved up my babysitting money and bought a DSLR camera kit from Costco. I began by using myself and my friends as a subjects to learn lighting and editing techniques. 

Fourteen years later, I have fallen deeply in love with this art. It has become a part of me. I am obsessed with the human connection gained through this lens and all the little details that come along with it. This workhorse of a machine has also given me countless once-in-a-lifetime experiences and helped forge most of my deepest relationships today. 

My future plans include creating an animal sanctuary for large livestock and owning a photography/art studio where folks can come, let loose, and feel at home. I also plan to dabble in the stationary & ceramic-making world!
