MY story

My love for photography was born in the surroundings of my hometown, Rockford, IL—a place where I first discovered the beauty of storytelling through a lens. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing the sweeping landscapes of the Midwest, the awe-inspiring national parks, and the quiet, meaningful moments that make life extraordinary.

What began as photographing local events and concerts has grown into a passion for weddings and portraiture. I believe that the best photographs come from genuine connections, which is why building a personal relationship with the people I photograph is so important to me. I want to understand your story, your vision, and what makes this moment special to you, so that together, we can create images that feel authentic and deeply personal.

Beyond photography, I’m a huge hockey fan—though ironically, I never learned to skate. I also have a thing for wristwatches, with a growing collection spanning different decades and styles.

If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to connect. Let’s create something timeless together.
