✨ Award-winning freelance digital photographer & visual storyteller. For me, photography is more than images—it’s about capturing truth, emotion, and connection.

Since 2008, I’ve been honored to teach photography at Crowder College, sharing my love for the art each Fall and Spring semester, as well as through private lessons. Teaching allows me to not only pass on technical skills but also encourage others to see the world through a lens of curiosity and wonder.

My work is rooted in a documentary-style approach, using both film and digital media to reveal life’s beauty in its most authentic form. Whether I’m photographing a fleeting candid moment, a milestone celebration, or the quiet poetry of everyday life, my goal is to create images that feel alive and true.

Based in Arkansas and Missouri, I continue to follow my passion as a freelance photographer—offering portraits, events, editorial, and creative projects that highlight the artistry of human experience.
