Congratulations to this lovely couple. I was so honored to capture your day with you.

Some nights just show up and do all the work. ✨

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening for senior photos - the kind of sunset that makes you stop what you’re doing and just take it all in.

There’s something pretty special about this season of life… standing on the edge of what comes next, with so much still undecided and so many possibilities ahead. College, new adventures, big dreams, and figuring out exactly where this next chapter will take you.

For now, we just get to capture this version of you. And this sunset was the perfect backdrop.

There are few things that make me smile quite like seeing one of my images show up in a client’s email signature.

It’s such a simple use of a photograph, but these are some of my absolute favorite images to make. And seeing them continue to live beyond the gallery — in emails, on websites, in school communications — is pretty damn cool.

I genuinely love working with kids, teachers, and schools. There’s something about this work that just feels like it fits me.

I probably would have been a teacher if I hadn’t become a photographer. I get to tell stories, make great images, and spend a whole lot of time around people who are learning, teaching, growing, and figuring it all out.

These are the clients that make me really, really happy to do what I do. ❤️

There is a story behind every story we capture and it’s important. History depends on the record keepers.

Some projects are just really, really cool.

The new Wilson x Caitlin Clark Signature Series 3.0 - Beyond the Arc is one of those projects. 🏀

I had the opportunity to photograph the product for this campaign, creating the imagery that helps bring these basketballs, and all the design, detail and personality behind them, to life.

Three basketballs. Three completely different visual stories. And a whole lot of tiny details that deserved to be seen.

This is the kind of product photography I love most: taking something people think they already know and finding a way to make them stop and really look at it.

Pretty surreal seeing these images become part of a campaign for one of the biggest names in basketball right now.

I am absolutely going to take a second to be proud of this one.

🎺 The first game of their senior season. ✨

Before the lights. Before the stands fill. Before the first note rings out on Friday night… let’s take a moment for the seniors who have spent years building the sound, the tradition, and the story of this band.

And on Friday, we celebrate them a little extra. 🖤

Senior Night is here.
Let’s make their last first game one they’ll never forget!

There’s something really special about seeing your work out in the world.

This week trade show booth came to life, and what struck me most wasn’t just the setup… it was how people were responding.

They kept stopping. Leaning in. Complimenting the imagery.

Photography has this quiet power. It sets a tone before a single word is spoken. It tells people who you are, what you value, and what they can expect. All in a glance.

When your visuals truly reflect your brand, they don’t just decorate a space, they create connection.

Grateful to create work that lives beyond the screen and supports businesses in real, tangible ways.
