Bio

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, I have been interested in the art of photography since the age of 15. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in English at the University of Kansas, I went on to pursue a graduate certificate from the New York Institute of Photography and have studied under several different photographers in the Lawrence area. I am currently teaching photography at the Lawrence Arts Center and working as a freelance photographer.

Although I have done wedding photography and photo illustration, my focus is travel photography. It is important for me to visit new places and experience different cultures around the world, and to promote education and understanding between people through my photographs. With each shot I hope to capture a specific moment in time that resonates with the viewer as if you were actually there watching the scene unfold for yourself, thus providing the individual with a unique experience.

I love photography because it gives me a chance to savor the fleeting moments in time that we all take for granted and that give our lives meaning.
