I love photography. Love it. Till death do we part. Just kidding, but not really. I used to shoot weddings, engagements, portraits, events, branding, and advertising, among other things —you get it. I feel incredibly fortunate to be in a position now where I do photography for passion, rather than money.

The stories behind images inspire me, what the subjects are doing and why, and why the photographer happened to not only take notice but capture the moment. The idea of capturing a genuine moment, sometimes an incredibly unique one, especially one that will never happen again —that’s what I live for. The mere seconds from when that magic begins to when it’s gone forever, the uncertainty and stress of being able to get the shot in such a small window of time, and the exhilaration of success. Or the disappointment of failure. That happens too, but it only inspires me to keep shooting.

My photography is an expression of how I see the world, and how I feel about myself. I’ll be honest, sometimes that view is positive, sometimes it’s not. Still, there’s meaning behind every composition, a story to each frame, and good or bad, each photo is worthwhile. This site is a limited collection of my past work and current passions. I’m grateful for this opportunity to share my experiences, photography, and the stories behind these photos with you.
