While in Papua New Guinea for short term mission work, I was able to shoot Jennie's senior portraits for the coming school year. As if being in the highlands of Papua New Guinea wasn't amazing enough, she had her photos taken in probably the most unique location of all the seniors in her school. Working with the amazing landscapes and Jennie was a treat in and of itself.
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.
