Self-taught photographer · videographer

Capturing moments worth remembering and sharing.

I'm a photographer and videographer based in Arizona. I started by capturing my own life and adventures, and over time that grew into working with brands and businesses. Here I share both: the work I create for clients and the places, experiences, and things I'm learning along the way.

For brands

Let's capture what you do.

I like starting with a conversation about what you're working on and what you need. Some of my client relationships have lasted a decade, and building that kind of trust means a lot to me. I want the photos and videos we create to be useful to your business, not just something to add to my portfolio.

UGC & social content

I started working with brands through my own YouTube channels, and I still enjoy showing how something works and sharing my experience with it. I create photos, demonstrations, and videos for brands to use, with partnerships on my own channels discussed separately.

Travel & hospitality

Travel is a big part of my life and my work. I photograph hotels and destinations, sharing the stay and the places we explore around it. I enjoy being able to bring my own experience into the work, especially when my family gets to come along.

Content for brands & local businesses

I enjoy getting to know the people behind a business and understanding what they're working toward. From there, we can plan photos and videos of your team, products, or work for your website, social media, and advertising.

The person behind the camera

Always creating. Capturing life along the way.

I've always loved art and creating things. I started with graphic design and animation, then wanted to take my own photos to use in my edits. Photography grew into something I loved on its own, from experimenting with long exposures to documenting our adventures.

My dad and uncles were always taking photos when I was growing up. I loved being able to look back at what we'd done and share it with other people. That still matters to me today, whether I'm traveling with my family, working with a brand, or helping someone learn something new about photography.
