I started taking pictures when I was knee-high to a grasshopper. My family always had cameras around, so it was easy for me as a child to try my hand at photography. When I was in my early teens, my dad started racing with the Colorado Hill Climb Association, and I was his official photographer. There was only one problem, I never got the whole car in the shot! I tried so hard, but each time we developed the film I would either have the front bumper or the rear bumper.

When I entered high school, I knew that I wanted to take to the photography class that was offered. I began to experiment with angles and lighting, using the old Minolta camera I had bought from my dad's boss. After graduating high school, I knew that I had to pursue my passion, photography. I packed up and moved to Glenwood Springs, CO to attend Colorado Mountain College. Attending the Professional Photography program there transformed me. I now understood what my camera was doing, and what I could do to make my shots better.

Now, I have graduated CMC and I am in the working world, but still holding onto my passion of photography. I enjoy shooting at car shows, racing events, landscapes, and I even enjoy shooting portraits! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have.

Thanks!
