Photographing Jason & Chelsea on their wedding day was a great time! They were so excited to get married, their joy and emotions were contagious. They were married in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota in July. Congratulations Jason & Chelsea, and thank you for letting me be a part of such a memorable and important day for the two of you!
I remember setting up shoots for fun when I was little. Gathering all I could of dolls and stuffed animals, flowers, pets, anything I could, to take pictures. Eventually I had to start saving my allowance so I could buy and develop film with my own money, as my parents would no longer process the many rolls of film I went through.
I found another love for photography through the darkroom in high school. Spending all of my free time in the red light, watching latent images appear onto paper with great delight.
After high school, I moved to Wyoming to pursue my first degree in commercial photography from Northwest College, in Powell, Wyoming. My love for the craft only grew more intensely.
Once finished in Wyoming, I worked as an assistant and studio manager in Boise for a year, and then moved to California to pursue my second degree.
I graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography in March of 2006.
I am passionate about the images I create, and am so thankful to be blessed with the eye I have been given.
