“I have traveled to many places and observed breathtaking beauty. However, more than just experiencing beauty, I adore capturing it. Having the privilege to freeze a moment - encompassing the essence of life and emotions in an image - is a wonderful thing. I love creating windows in time and being able to share those moments with others. Providing people with photographs that perfectly capture the spirit of a day, an event, or a feeling brings me so much joy.

A camera has been in my hand since I was 16 years old. I graduated from photography school in 2012. My specialty is nature, travel, and landscape photography. However, I also love portrait and wedding photography. My work has been featured in the Homer Visitor Guide three years running, as well as the Alaska Magazine, and Fish Alaska Magazine.”
