Everyone has a story and a purpose. 
It's my job... my passion... my purpose to tell those stories through words and pictures. 
My goal as a writer is to be thought provoking, accurate, and interesting.
My goal as an artist is to create memorable images that leave an imprint.

Finding out "the who", "the what" and "the why" is always fascinating to me. I love peeling back the layers and getting to the essence of a person. Depth, connection, inspiration, humor, and character are what I strive to portray in my stories.

Places have a history- and a story- of their own. Location often evokes emotion, and I am sensitive to not only the story, but the places supporting it. 
The American West, in particular, holds a unique narrative that resonates with me.

As a ranch raised art student, diversity has always been part of my life. I'm comfortable working around people of all ages and backgrounds. 
Livestock, pets, and manure all simply enhance my working conditions, as does coffee.

Authenticity is my goal. I'll do whatever it takes to get the story... and the shot. 

I look forward to working with you!
