Born and raised in the Chicagoland area. Living 5 years in Oregon and now over 3 years in Colorado, I’ve fallen in love with life and how to document its beauty with my camera. I was first inspired to pick up a camera in an attempt to capture the night sky. My camera accompanied me on many backpacking trips and eventually led me to shooting wedding receptions for a band named Desert Child (https://www.desertchildmusic.com). It is in these spaces where I felt a sense of honor to be a part of the day two souls are entering a sacred union together. An honor to play a tiny role in documenting the ceremonial beginnings of something beautiful.
