I fell in love with photography as a child when I joined a local 4-H club. My dream was to pursue the art into high school and college but the expense of developing film and the timidness of my youth led me to give it up to try something more affordable and "practical". When I grew up I learned that "practical" is simply not what my heart wanted out of life. So when I got the chance in 2009 to learn digital photography as an extra duty for my graphic design job at a manufacturing corporation, I jumped in! I've since completed hundreds of hours of education both online and at live seminars across the country to inform and better equip myself to produce the kinds of art I want to bring into the world.

I've been creating as many shooting opportunities as I can for myself, having only nights and weekends free as I'm still at the day job, and am BEYOND excited to make connections through Model Mayhem to make it all happen.

I spent my weekends in 2015 photographing hundreds of families, seniors, babies and pets for a national portrait company in local parks. It was a joy to meet so many different people and make great photographs for them. They were quick shoots, but I learned so much making thousands of photographs, and am eager to put what I've learned to use in a different market.

I am fascinated and moved by beauty. Having some friends who are either working professional make-up artists and fashion designers or are just damned stylish and lovely, I've had the opportunity to have a hand in creating a few wonderful collaborations. After those shoots I realized that I want to devote as much of my time as possible for the rest of my life capturing beautiful faces in all of their artful forms. I'm looking to collaborate with beauty make-up artists, FX make-up artists, hair stylists, and models to bring their arts and beauty into the light for all of the world to be inspired by. I think the world could use more creative people working together for positive expression and mutual joy.

Also! I'm big on graphics for print or web (my day-job for the last 10+ years) and have a ton of experience with photo retouching. I love taking a project from concept, to shoot, to screen, to production; so I'm a bit of a one-stop-shop artist. I have made tons of vendor connections over the years and pride myself on getting printed materials (from business cards to billboards) at the best price and quality. I've actually been tooling around Photoshop more than twice as long as I've been shooting digital photography. And while photography was technically my first love, I do have a hard time deciding which I'm more enamored with since Photoshop kind of caught me on the rebound ^_^ I'm constantly learning new techniques and refining my skill with retouch work and am totally open to collaborating with other photographers who'd like a little polish on their shoots.
