Behind the lens

Meet the maker who is capturing the raw beauty (and hearts) of Central Oregon.

The Philosophy

I believe that technical mastery is requisite for creative freedom. Like Picasso said, "Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist." By mastering the fundamentals - aperture, ISO, and shutter speed, I can focus more on what matters: the composition of your story.

Serving my community through a professional photography service has been a lifelong passion. Capturing joy and being able to it share it through a creative, durable medium, is something that I consider a truly worthy endeavour.

The Oregon Backdrop

Based in Central Oregon, I leverage backdrops of the snow-capped Cascades and shoot in the shadows of the firs and ponderosas. The wild beauty of the High Dessert is a constant source of inspiration.

The Maker's Mindset

Whether it's writing an elegant line of code, learning a new instrument, or taking a panorama of the Cascades, I'm driven by the desire to create. Photography was my first passion - and remains an integral part of my life.

The Style

I don’t impose heavy-handed editing or artificial effects. Instead, I leverage brilliant lighting and classic compositions to provide an honest, beautiful snapshot of life as it happens.

The Process

Casual, fun, photoshoots are the way to go! Being able to enjoy the experience is just as important as the final result. For weddings and ceremonies, I feel just as comfortable documenting the smiles and the tears - the moment, is what's important.
