Since
receiving a Voigtlander camera as a gift at the age of
10, I’ve been fascinated with the art of photography.
When I first saw a print come to life in the developer
tray, I knew I would be a photographer. I am fortunate
to earn a living doing what I truly love. I have devoted
my life to exploring and improving my skills as a photographer
and continue to do so day after day. I find art in the
beauty and geometry of everyday life, never leaving the
house without my camera. Particularly with live music
and weddings, I approach photography with the belief
that the reality of each moment is the ultimate beauty,
and that it's these fleeting moments that are the most
valuable to my clients.
My
wedding work is often described as wedding photojournalism
or documentary style. Although I am a Seattle area wedding
and music photographer, I regularly travel for weddings,
and have been commissioned to photograph weddings all
over the world.
My
work has been featured in ad campaigns for Amazon.com
and Ericsson mobile phones, album cover art for Pete
Droge, Downpilot, Sugartown, Brother Sun Sister Moon,
Visqueen and Broadcast Oblivion. Music and editorial
photojournalism has been featured in local and national
magazines, including Seattle Weekly, The Stranger, Photo
District News (PDN), ROCKRGRL, The Big Takeover, Three
Imaginary Girls, Washington Free Press, Local Planet,
Seattle Bride, The Knot, Conde Nast's Brides Magazine,
Wedding Pages Magazine, Wedding Expo and Bravo's promotional
literature.
I've
recently been named one of the nation's top wedding photographers
by PDN
magazine and the Wedding
Photojournalist Association.
