I’m a sucker for a great moment. I’m pretty good at living in the present, but I constantly find myself wrapped up in my favorite nostalgic moments of the past. Not entire days, or weeks, but those split seconds that make you smile from the inside out. I love anything real, raw, and unfiltered. When I suggest a pose in a session, that isn’t raw, but when I suggest a pose and then the people I’m shooting crack up laughing, that’s real, and that’s the moment I’m looking for.
[ Thankfully I'm HILARIOUS, so you will laugh A LOT ]

Once I really discovered photography that was it for me. The fact that this crazy device is fast enough to capture those moments is unreal, and being able to document the connection between people makes me indescribably happy. There’s nothing I love more than watching people interact, seeing the love and the raw emotions, anticipating moments, and being able to freeze them forever.

I grew up in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota and from there I moved to Duluth, London, Dublin, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Tacoma, and now call Minneapolis home again.
