I'm a self taught lifestyle family and wedding photographer based in the Puget Sound, Washington area. I've loved photography since I received my first Kodak 110 when I was a kid, filling up a gallon ice cream bucket's worth of finished film canisters in a summer that included multiple camping trips and my first visit to Yellowstone and driving my parents nuts in the process. I love to travel, go to the beach, and generally just get outside. I have a strange obsession with going to the zoo in each place I visit. And I always have my camera with me every step of the way. Photos you'll enjoy looking at for years to come should be a joyful experience while they are being taken. I love candid, natural shots. No stuffy, department store poses here. We'll have time for everyone to get comfortable and relax in front of the camera so that we are all having fun. And when you look at your finished album, my goal is that you have just as big of a smile on your face as you do in the picture.
