My love for photography didn’t come to fruition until I went on a trip with my grandfather to Alaska when I was 13. While on this trip my mother offered me a camera to take with me. I thought nothing of it, taking pictures of the mountains and rivers, still without any knowledge that the sound of a shutter would be one that could forever put a smile on my face. It wasn’t until one morning when a fox came to our camp. I slowly edged closer until I was no more than 5 feet from its questioning nose. I looked through the camera lens and into the eyes of the little critter. Innocence. Just looking for food or a companion. I took a picture and the shutter noise scared her and she ran away into the long grass. I can remember laying in bed and looking at the picture smiling thinking about that moment we shared. Looking back now I realized the power and love I had for holding life’s moments in a single frame and I still do. But that love came from a little red fox.

I specialize in portrait photography, but, love anything I can point a lens at. I love working with models when it comes to portraits. I am well aware that sometimes having a camera pointed at you can be uncomfortable, so I try to ensure my shoots are fun and upbeat. I love to get to know the people I am working with on a personal level. I believe this helps build a sense of trust and comfort when it comes time to go out and shoot. Night photography has been a growing passion of mine as well. Going to college in Montana has allowed me to connect with nature and the stars at night. Finally, landscape photography is something that intrigued me, however, I wish to travel more to expand my portfolio.
