Still was an honor to get picked as a finalist. These winners are well deserved

Go vote! I made it as a finalist again this year! Super stoked, but go show everyone some love on there. The amount of talent and adventures caught on camera this year is pretty awesome. Don’t think mine deserves the win for the waterfowl category but I’m honered to get picked.

Some randoms from walking around downtown Monroe with a 35mm prime. Sometimes the mood strikes me to take a camera out with no plan, no shot I have in mind, nothing I need to get out of it. Just freedom to let the imagination flow. Often nothing comes of it, but sometimes you capture something that speaks to you. That’s art through a lens though, I think.

Very cool senior pic Session with Ben Warden. Reach out if you're interested in booking something like this. I don't mind getting out there in it for the shot, prefer it really!
