It all started back in high school. I needed to find an elective credit for a "arts" class and the only one left to choose from was journalism. If it hadn't been for this class, I would have never thought to find love in photography. I spent 2 years on the schools newspaper as a photojournalist and covered a wide variety of events from sports to spelling bees. I eventually got bored with taking pictures of high school events mainly because I realized that I could use my skills in photography to fill my creative outlet.

 

Through great friends and determination, I began my journey in portrait photography. I worked alongside brands like Colorado Instagram and Boxed Water to market new products with models. and directly got to be involved in the creative process. I took this knowledge and worked with local Coloradans in editorial photoshoots and portfolios, where I really got to narrow in on my photographic style. 

​

It wasn't until sophomore year of college (go rams!) that I branched out from commercial photography and moved into more personal works. Its here where I learned how to incorporate props, colors, and worked side by side with local make up artists and stylists. 

​

After a few years of personal photography and one off commercial shoots, I took a hiatus to re-center and re-focus my standards as a photographer. 

​

Photography for me is a unique opportunity to stop time, and capture people when they feel their best. I use a lot of varying pops of color to draw viewers in, and work with bright contrasting styles to create a cinamatic and grand look to my images.
