What I love most about photography is expressing how I view people without words. Each and every one of us has something very unique and extraordinary inside. You just have to look for it to discover what it is.

You can listen to people with more then your ears, you can hear what they are trying to say with your eyes. To be able to catch it on film – that is the reason that I am a photographer. My job could not possibly get old because every experience is a new story.

At the age of 16, is when I starting photographing weddings and portraits. I shot a few of my friend’s senior portraits in high school, and I was also the yearbook photographer. The first wedding that I shot was a beautiful Mexican wedding in the woods; the groom was the campus cop from my high school. By the time I graduated I had shot dozens of senior portraits, school dances and events, and several weddings. At 18, I left Jacksonville (a tiny town in Southern Oregon), and moved to Seattle. A few years later, I received my degree for Commercial Photography at the Seattle Creative Arts Academy. Every day I’m growing and developing as a photographer, and a person for that matter. It’s a never ending journey, and I’m enjoying the ride….on most days.

I love the emotions and sentimentality that is involved in weddings.

I have also been able to travel to many different countries to get to know their culture and people. I love traveling, and photographing all that I see and experience. I love to paint a picture in a viewer’s mind of what it felt like to be there.

Thank you taking the time to find out what I’m about.

Sincerely,
