I’ve been a photographer for most of my life—and the way I see and capture the world has evolved and grown right along with me.

​

These days, my work is a mix of everything I’ve loved along the way. I photograph families, high school seniors, and dogs (always dogs), and I’m also spending more time on personal projects and fine art photography that push me creatively and keep things interesting.

​

One of those projects became Beer Dogs Virginia—a coffee table book celebrating dogs and local breweries. What started as an idea quickly turned into one of the most meaningful (and fun) projects I’ve ever created, and it’s something I’d love to revisit again in the future.

​

Outside of photography, I’ve raised eight service dogs for Canine Companions—an experience that has shaped me in ways I didn’t expect. It’s also what led me to help grow the “Give a Dog a Job 5K,” now heading into its 8th year in 2026. It’s a project rooted in community, connection, and a shared purpose—and it’s been incredible to watch it grow.

​

Earlier in my career, I photographed a lot of weddings. While I don’t take on as many now, that season taught me how to move quickly, read people, and anticipate moments as they happen—skills that still show up in everything I photograph today.

​

Photography has never been just one thing for me. It shifts as life shifts. What hasn’t changed is how much I enjoy it—the process, the people, and the stories that come out of it.

​

If you’re looking for a photographer who values real moments, a relaxed experience, and images that actually feel like you, I’d love to connect. Whether it’s a family session, senior portraits, or photographing your dog (highly encouraged), I’m always up for creating something meaningful together.
