Before The Camera
I wasn’t born with a camera in my hand. There’s a lot behind why I hold one now… some of it personal. No actually, all of its personal. If you’re the type that likes the full story, you can read more about what has led me to become a photographer here.
Only slightly embarrassing

Nobody’s Life Goes In Order
I dropped out of college after two days. Rediscovered my love of photography somewhere between fast food and office jobs. Then having my daughter changed my life in more ways than one. At 30, I went back to school at Cisco College. After graduating with my associates from there and with one kid in tow, I got accepted into UT and just like that, I packed up and moved to Austin. The first time I’d ever left my small town. I finished my English degree there, and in the middle of it all, had baby number two.
You don’t have to have it together for me. Whether it’s your senior year, your family, or your business, you’re welcome here.

Spoiler alert… it was a bumpy ride to put it mildly.
That degree didn’t go to waste, either… I still write, and not always about photography.
I take photos to show the happiness that already exists inside your perfectly imperfect life.
Not to create the illusion of one.

Me & My Family
Photography started long before portraits did for me. I still shoot macro, landscape, and abstract work to this day.
