I grew up in the picturesque mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. After doing some amateur photography work for my church, I got bit by the bug. The ability to capture the beauty of a single moment in a photo, of telling the story of an event through video filled me up.

Whether it’s a static landscape or dynamic portrait, there’s something about having the ability to capture a moment and freeze it in time that simply intrigues me. I love being able to reflect people’s joy and happiness back to them with my work. I place people in just the right kind of light to be able to see them as everyone else sees them. Sometimes they can’t even believe that picture is of them. To me it’s not about snapping pictures to make you look cool later on in editing, but to capture the the emotion of what is going on when that picture is being taken. I tell your story through my work.
