About Me

You Never Know What One Picture Might Mean.

It started with my mom's camera. I picked it up, started shooting some of my buddies' games, and one thing led to another — a few clients turned into more, and it's grown from there.

I love shooting sports because I grew up an athlete. I remember how much a single picture made me feel. That's what keeps me chasing every moment while I'm out there.

Working with me is never meant to feel stressful, I keep the mood light and I bring my positive outgoing energy with me the whole time. I'm always trying to learn more about my clients to make a genuine human connection, because to me it's more than just pictures. It's the human side of it, and getting a real smile out of you.

Off the clock, I currently am studying Marketing at Michigan State's Eli Broad College of Business. When not studying, I have the privilege of doing what I love most, photography. Having the opportunity to grow and develop in something I love will be something I will forever be grateful for.
