INSTINCT IN THE MOMENT, intention in the frame.
behind the lensI work in both film and digital because each reveals something different. Film slows me down and invites intention. Digital lets me move instinctively, catching the moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Together, they create images that feel layered, honest, and enduring.
Before photography, I worked as a creative in advertising, shaping stories and paying close attention to how people connect with what they see. But I was always drawn to the unguarded moments, people being people, love unfolding naturally, the quiet beauty of real life. Over time, I felt myself pulled outdoors more and more, toward open skies, shifting light, and the kind of stillness that makes you really appreciate the view from a mountain top. Photography became the place where everything met. That path eventually led me to the Pacific Northwest and to film along the way.
Living here continues to shape how I see. Time spent hiking in nature and immersed in the landscape has deepened my appreciation for subtle, fleeting moments. That sense of wonder carries into my work, guiding me to photograph with calm, curiosity, and a deep respect for what’s unfolding in front of me.
I’m drawn to simple rituals: slow mornings with good coffee, music in the background, art and culture in all forms, and the quiet privilege of watching people be fully themselves. At its core, my work is about love, the authentic kind. The in-between moments that are easy to overlook. The feeling of being somewhere you’ll never be again.
I’m simply there to notice it and create something you can return to for a lifetime.
MY PHILOSOPHY
01
ARTISTRYI’m drawn to the feeling of a moment more than the perfection of it. The way light falls, the way people move, the quiet things in between. I approach weddings with a calm, observant eye, shaping what’s real into something artful.
02
PRESENCEI believe presence creates the most lasting images. I offer subtle direction when it adds ease, and space when authenticity matters most, allowing the day to unfold in a way that feels effortless and real..
03
TIMELESSNESSTrends come and go, but feeling stays. I’m always thinking about how these photographs will live years from now, not just how they look but what they hold. The goal is something lasting, honest, and quietly powerful.
