From the Black Hills to the Pacific Northwest.
Capture the moment.
I love the finer things in life, and photography is one of my true passions. As a lifestyle, portrait, travel, and landscape photographer, I strive to capture the beauty of fleeting moments and tell authentic stories through my lens. My work is deeply inspired by nature, human connection, and the artistry found in everyday life. Whether I’m photographing a golden sunset on the California coast, the quiet strength of a mountain range, or the raw emotion of a candid moment, my goal is to create images that evoke feeling and nostalgia.
Born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, I grew up surrounded by vast prairies, rugged rock formations, and the ever-changing beauty of the seasons. That early connection to nature shaped my artistic vision, but it wasn’t until I traveled west that I truly found my creative home. At 18, I took a leap of faith and moved to Northern California, drawn by its wild coastline, towering redwoods, and vibrant creative community. Here, I’ve built a life immersed in photography, storytelling, and exploration.
Beyond capturing moments through my camera, I thrive on adventure—whether it’s chasing waves along the Pacific, discovering hidden landscapes, or documenting the rich culture and people I meet along the way. Photography, to me, is more than just an art form; it’s a way of life, a way to preserve the fleeting, and a way to share the beauty of the world with others.
Through my work, I hope to inspire people to see the world through a different lens—to embrace the beauty in the small details, the grand landscapes, and the intimate human experiences that make life extraordinary.
