My father was a high school coach for many-many years. One of the things he liked to do for his players each year was to put together a slideshow video of pictures from each game. In 2014 I took over this job for him. Prior to this I had very little experience with a camera besides, you know, pushing the button. I quickly became very interested in photography and it became more of a hobby for me. By the time I reached graduation it became a passion, and I knew I wanted to pursue it as a career, although I hadn’t a clue what that career would be.

I spent my first year of college at The University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne Indiana. While I enjoyed my time there I quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit for me; primarily because they only offered a minor in photography instead of a major. I visited Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis and knew it was what I was looking for, so I transferred at the end of my freshman year and graduated three years later.

During my time at Herron I was mostly focused on creating fine art photography working with analogue processes and landscapes. My senior year I stepped out of my comfort zone and applied for an internship with a wedding photographer based in Indianapolis; I wanted to do something completely different from what I had spent years doing. During my internship I accompanied my mentor as a second shooter to many different events, mostly weddings, with the occasional engagement, family, and senior session as well. I graduated in 2022 and have continued to work as a second shooter until recently when I decided to branch out on my own.

For a long time I struggled with my purpose, trying to figure out how I was supposed to use my gift and passion for photography. Being a more introverted person I never imagined that my work would move into the field of portraiture and lifestyle, but I dipped my toe in and knew that it is what God has been calling me to do. Faith is a key factor in my life, it's where my roots grow and what my foundation is built on. To not only witness the important life events of others, but to be a part of it by capturing beautiful life moments fills my heart and soul in ways I’ve not experienced. I am able to do something that I love everyday and share it with others and I couldn't be more grateful. I am glad you are here, and I can’t wait to use my gift to capture your beautiful moments.
