Self Portrait

This was the first picture I took with my Nikon in 2017. It was taken in the Winter of 2017. After I shot it, I met with my good friend Lex and she was the one who said it looked like me! Spikey hair and arms that wrap around all those I meet in love and kindness. What a gift her words were, and what a gift photography has become for me.

I love the whole process of taking photos. From thinking about where I want to go to take them to walking when I’m taking them. I love looking all directions with the hope of finding a shot that truly speaks to me, and finding truly unique pieces to photograph. I had a photography teacher tell me that the key to great pictures is not what you are using to shoot them. Rather, the eye it takes, and sometimes patience required, to get a great shot. For this reason, I use whatever is available to get my shots. I try to keep my shots as raw as possible. My hope is that they uniquely speak to you and are an encouragement upon your journey! Prints are available upon request. Inquire here about cost.

    I took this photo last week on a hike up into the Colorado mountains. I have a hidden trail that I’ve walked upon many times. This day I witnessed a momma Elk and her very young baby. I saw streams bubbling down the mountain. Flowers galore wherever I looked. But, nothing compared to the beauty…

  • Foggy Drip

    This was taken in May of 2020 at White Ranch Park. I love how the different elements of this image play upon each other. The fog settling in the background and onto the electric fence. The green and brown of the field. The three trees in the photo almost looking like parents calling their child…

    This taken above Port Cerisio, Italy in October 2019. This is Lake Lugano which is Switzerland on one side, and I’m standing on the Italy side. Highlight of my European trip was hiking and biking around this part of Italy!

  • Castle Red

    This picture was taken in Ghent, Belgium in early October 2019. It is of the Castle of the Counts which was originally built in 1180 and was restored in 1893. I had a glorious day feeling the energy of this city and the castle walls built in the midst of it!

  • Dragon Skin

    This shot was taken during a trip to Arizona in early 2019. I was enamored by this cactus that was slowly eroding beside the trail. Even in death it portrayed such beauty. The more I have looked at this, the more it looks like dragon skin to me.

  • Dark Rising

    Taken in the summer of 2017 in Arvada, CO. This was shot right before the most significant unraveling started taking place in every area of my life. A foretelling of what was to come. Some moments are burned so deep they will not be forgotten…
