My whole life, I have admired beautiful things. From people, to logo's, to fonts, to the scenery this world gives us. In high-school, my love for graphic design & web design bloomed full scale. I now create things on a daily basis working a full time graphics job. My constant love for making things look nice is even greater now. This drive has reeled me in to photography, where I almost instantly took up landscape photography. That kept me on a continuous adventure to explore and collect beautiful imagery all around parts of Oregon & some of California. I drove long distances, hiked, camped, stayed in lookout towers. Anything it took to get a good photo, within reason.

Then family happened. I had two kids and was distraught over the drive to keep capturing or to be home often enough to help raise the kids. I, ultimately, decided on quiting landscape photography for now. Maybe when the kids get older and show interest for the outdoors, it will be something they can help me do. Until then, I have pivoted to the genre of portrait photography. Where I have really been enjoying using what I know about photo to learn more and pursue photography from a different avenue.

The future could entail similar pivots, but in life, you just never know. So for now, it remains that I am now a portrait photographer. What this does though, is create an opportunity for us to work together!
