I’ve always been drawn to story. not just in words, but in feelings.

When I was young, my dad would lie on the floor each night and tell us stories he made up on the spot. tales of secret passageways, portals to other worlds, and quiet heroes shaped by the journey. They were filled with the things my brother and I loved, from Lucas to Tolkien and whatever we were dreaming about that week.

Over time, I realized I wasn’t just listening to stories, I was chasing them. In the games I played, the crafts I learned, and the way I saw the world. I’ve always been pulled toward narrative and the emotions that make it meaningful.

I eventually picked up a camera not because I planned to, but because I couldn’t help myself. What started as a way to photograph the leather goods I was crafting turned into something more: a passion to capture real, lived stories with the same sense of wonder I grew up with.

Josh did an amazing job at our wedding just last weekend! He was so on top of getting every single shot and was there the WHOLE day! He gave back sneak peeks literally the next day. So happy with how they turned out and can’t wait to see the rest of them!

“Our gifts and talents should also be turned over to Him. They should be recognized for what they are, God's loan to us, and should never be considered in any sense our own. We have no more right to claim credit for special abilities than for blue eyes or strong muscles."
