Meet Me

Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been the kid with a camera in hand since the fourth grade. What started with disposable film cameras turned into a life of documenting stories. When I am not behind the lens, I’m spending time with my family of four, hitting the gym, or at a local art show.

That background shaped how I see the world today. My work focuses on moments that feel real and grounded. I look for the grit and the quiet moments others overlook. Your images will feel cinematic and lived-in rather than overly polished or staged.

Whether I'm shooting a portrait session or a wedding, my approach remains consistent. For weddings and quinces, I stay close to the action while staying out of the spotlight to capture candid emotions. For portraits, I provide intentional direction so you feel confident and like yourself.

Take a look through my work. Whether you are celebrating a milestone or building your brand, I want to create something iconic with you.

Based in Topeka. Available in Lawrence, Kansas City, and beyond.
