About the Photographer

Purpose for Life//
I could start with, “I have a passion for photography,” but I’m sure you have figured out by now that all photographers have a passion for photography. Instead, I’ll start with I am a huge believer in fate, finding your own path, and destiny. I know mine. I was put on planet Earth to be a photographer. From early on, I knew this is what I wanted to do. And I don’t mean the “Gee, I’ll take a whack at this photography thing.” It was the every-fiber-of-my-being, cannot-live-without-it, think-about-it all-the-time knowing.

I was born to be a storyteller of the human spirit.

To share the love and the light that we all possess inside ourselves. To share the moments that are worth living for. To make people realize how beautiful and important they are. I choose to tell these stories by making photographs.

This realization, combined with my ambitious spirit and hard work, helped me build my business. But as I grew more and more, I quickly found out, it was unlike any other business. These people are not just my clients. They become close friends. I get to see people in love, getting married, having children. I get to be a part of it all. That, right there, is the greatest joy.

I will do anything for my clients. I will tell your story. I will laugh with you, cry with you, celebrate with you, and document it all. I will create beautiful images for you to love now and love years from now. I will put in everything I have to make the most wonderful images for you. I do this because I love it. And you will love it too.

I am based out of Wisconsin but am available for bookings worldwide.
