• My faith is central to my life. Jesus is my savior, and I owe it all to Him.
• I’m a Yooper from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula — raised with a love for independence, grit, and just getting it done.
• I was homeschooled for part of my childhood, which probably explains my lifelong pull toward freedom and doing things a little differently.
• I’m a full-on coffee snob (I know), a big music lover, and a loyal Waylon Jennings fan.
• I’d rather road trip for 15 hours than fly if it means seeing more of the country & being on my own time.
• I’m married to my best friend, Derek.
• I love the western way of life and have an ever-growing collection of funky vintage button-up shirts which just feels...fitting
About me
a little bit
I find inspiration in the open road and wide open spaces. the adventure of life. that first cup of coffee in the morning while watching the sun come up over the mountains. the towering saguaros of the desert. old country music that sends a chill down your spine cause the lyrics and melody are just so. dang. good. horses running through an open field. the beautiful craftsmanship in a saddle passed down from your grandfather. the detail and quality of your great grandma’s squash blossom necklace and navajo pearls. everywhere i go i am inspired by god’s creation, both humans and the land. inspired by all the emotions we feel as humans just trying to make our way through this life.
Saddle up
Somewhere along the way, the west stole my heart. I grew up in a small town in Upper Michigan and boy was it a great place to grow up, but as I got older, I fell in love with horses and the West. Those go together a little too well, don’t they? Over the past several years, I’ve gotten to live in Montana, Arizona, Washington, North Dakota, Texas, and now Wyoming. When I'm not working, you'll find me making yummy coffees, fishing, hiking & trail running, riding, thrifting for unique finds, spending quality time with friends and family and riding, just to name a few. I always find a way to stay busy and I usually don't find myself bored!
a little look into my life
Your story deserves to be told, and your voice deserves to be heard.
Photography has always meant more to me than just images. Through it, we hold onto moments, people, and feelings that would otherwise fade with time. Experiencing the loss of someone close to me deepened that understanding — it made me realize how much photographs matter, especially when the people we love are no longer here.
My philosophy is rooted in creating space for real emotion and honest connection, so what’s preserved isn’t just how things looked, but how they felt. These images aren’t meant for trends or timelines — they’re meant to be kept, revisited, and carried with you for a lifetime.
because the feeling is what lasts.
