Growing up in a small town in Ohio I knew who my neighbors were, I knew who owned the local stores and we valued them and supported them which has ultimately led me to where I am today. That sense of place and purpose shapes how I see brands; not as trends, but as living, evolving stories.

Now I will be honest my career didn’t start behind a camera. Before photography, I worked in commercial real estate property management, where I learned how businesses function from the inside out. I learned importance of showing up professionally through meeting deadlines and customer expectations daily. That foundation still informs how I work today.

I spent more than a decade as a family and newborn photographer, developing a practiced eye for nuance, connection, and quiet moments that carry meaning. While my focus has shifted, that experience remains at the core of my approach: patient, observant, and deeply intentional.

Today, I photograph food and brands with a clean, modern, editorial sensibility. Delivering imagery that feels elevated but approachable, polished but still human. My work is designed to support brands as they grow, helping them show up consistently across websites, social media, menus, and marketing.
