Justin & Shelaine rented a cabin just outside of Crouch, Idaho for their August 2006 wedding. Close friends and family attended this long awaited event in support of the couple. Although the weather was hot, the late afternoon wedding on the cabin's balcony was everything the couple wanted and more. Afterwards we took a walk on some of the nearby trails for pictures of just the two of them.
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.
