And it’s the moments in-between the smiles that I love the most. These moments make me laugh out loud, catch my breath, and give me joy. I hope my clients feel the same when they find these little jems in their galleries...

I think one of the biggest things you can do as a client is to wear something you love. Even if your cowboy boots are on the wrong feet. ☺️ If they make you happy, it will show in your images!! Be authentic to who you ar...

I love photographing city murals. This client was open to any fun city mural and I jumped at the opportunity to use this one! The colors and scale give the viewer so much more to look at.

This past month has been a whirlwind, but honestly life seems to be that way most of the time. Typically hockey consumes a lot of my time, this past month has been about long distance family and friends. Such a refreshin...
