Why do you love photography?

I went to school for photography and learned all about the technical side of lighting. There I learned to mix it with posing, and a fun environment while taking photos. It's overall an art; and therefore subjective to the people viewing it. Finding the right stye and posing to mix with incredible light is a mental puzzle I can't get enough of. My favorite thing to hear from couples is that they absolutely loved the engagement photos and simply cannot wait for the wedding photos!

Photography specialties:

Weddings, Head-shots, Corporate/Event, Pets, Product, High School Seniors

Favorite place to vacation:

Anywhere with mountains, be it summer or winter, but most of all Scotland. The beauty of the Scottish Highlands is something I'll never forget.

What do you do for fun?

I'm a huge extrovert and love being around people, be that camping, game nights, or bonfires. I'm also very much into rollerblading and learning to play the viola.

SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME:

My best work comes from having a block of time dedicated to just the people I'm working with. If you want stunning photos then setting aside an appropriate block of time in your event is a must, but it's an investment you won't regret!
