I started photography as a hobby with the cheapest DSLR available just to shoot my athletes when I worked as an athletic trainer. Fast forward almost a decade and photography has become part of my full-time gig and yet some of those sports photos are still some of my favorites to this day.

What started as a passion for shooting movement quickly developed into capturing magical moments: love, laughter, celebration, excitement... Now when someone asks what I shoot, I say, "People". 

I've been fortunate enough to capture everything from the magic of a first look on wedding days to record setting olympic lifts to hilarious family Christmas cards.

Thank you for considering me for your next photography event.
