Although I was reluctant at first, photojournalism has stolen my heart. The combination of storytelling, art, and excitement makes it the most satisfying work I've done. I guess you could say I'm smitten. I'm a photojournalism major at Cornerstone University and will be graduating in May 2012. I've had the privilege to learn from wonderful photographers Emily Zoladz and Cory Olsen, both photojournalists from the Grand Rapids Press, and Phrene Hoeksema of Phrene—Exquisite Photography, a talented commercial wedding photographer. The work displayed on here is a combination of my photojournalism work for classes and portraiture I've done in my spare time. Thanks stopping by and looking at my work.
