My passion for photography began in junior high school thanks to a teacher who changed the direction of an assignment and ultimately, my life. While my classmates were working on a project about insects, my teacher knew that topic wasn't inspiring me. Instead, he handed me a camera and challenged me to photograph the night sky and create a project around star trails. From that very first experience, I was hooked.

Soon after, I became the photographer for my school's yearbook, and I never really put the camera down. Over the past 12 years, photography has taken me far beyond the classroom, leading me to travel, explore, and see the world through a different perspective.

Today, I specialize in wildlife, landscapes, and the natural world. I'm drawn to the quiet moments, dramatic light, and wild places that remind us just how extraordinary our planet is. Whether I'm tracking wildlife or standing in awe of a sweeping landscape, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that inspire others to slow down, appreciate nature, and experience the beauty I was fortunate enough to witness.
