I’m a photographer based in Gilbert, Arizona. I picked up a camera in 2014, started dabbling in product photography, and from there I was hooked. I started visiting National Parks and fell in love with the process of traveling to my destination, chasing light, capturing images of epic landscapes, and going through the learning curve of creating an aesthetic via post-processing. Once I started photographing these epic landscapes with a person in the frame, it was a game changer for me. It opened the door to my love for portraiture, and the rest is history.
