Behind The Camera

I am based in Rapid City, South Dakota and I have been growing my love and skill for photography for many years. My love for photography began at a young age when I first picked up a camera simply to explore and create. From the very first click, I knew this was more than a hobby—it was a passion. Over the years, I’ve continued to grow my skills and develop a style that is both authentic and heartfelt.

My mission as a photographer is to capture people as they truly are—beautiful, unique, and wonderfully made. I believe every person deserves to see themselves the way God sees them, and that the imperfections we often focus on are, in fact, part of what makes us special.

Inspired by Psalm 139:1, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made,” my work centers on celebrating individuality and genuine connection. Whether I’m capturing candid moments or meaningful milestones, my goal is to preserve joyful perspectives that reflect your natural, God-given beauty.

I would be honored to help tell your story and capture a joyful perspective you’ll cherish for years to come.
