Twenty years ago, I first delved into photography in my hometown of Akron, Ohio, in 2005, drawn by the magic of developing prints and seeing images emerge in the darkroom. This early passion led me to earn a BA in Photography, travel on a world trip, and eventually settle on the West Coast. Over the years, my focus has primarily been on portrait photography. 

Since 2011, I’ve also specialized in wedding photography, I began by collaborating with photography studios and working as a second shooter for several years before transitioning to solo work. Now, as a solo artist, I focus on guiding my subjects subtly to capture their love rather than heavily staging every pose.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of working on unique projects from capturing NBA Blazer players to working for LinkedIn and I frequently visit the San Francisco Bay for shoots as well. I’ve been published extensively, featured in galleries, and honored with awards.  Whether it’s natural light portraits or studio light portraits or weddings, people say great things! Other popular shoots include: Family portraits, headshots, senior portraits, event coverage, boudoir and intimate portraits (fine art nude photography).  I celebrate the unique beauty and diversity of everyone I work with, reflecting the vibrant community around me.

If you’d like to book a session with me and my D780 Nikon, have a question, or just want to say hello, don’t hesitate to reach out. Headshots start at $500, portrait sessions range from $600 to $1200, elopements start at $2000, and weddings range from $2700 to $4700. Based in the greater Portland area, I also enjoy capturing moments in Washington, Hood River, San Francisco, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Ohio ♥
