Capturing every moment has always been of paramount importance to me as a photographer. I find great pleasure and fulfillment in freezing those fleeting moments in time, immortalizing emotions, connections, and stories. There is something incredibly powerful about being able to evoke nostalgia, joy, and even tears through a photograph. It is a privilege to have the ability to document life's precious moments and weave them into stories, preserving them for generations to come. But beyond my personal satisfaction, what truly fuels my passion is the desire to do it for you. Knowing that my work can bring happiness and touch the lives of others, that it can transport you back to a cherished memory or invoke a sense of wonder, is what drives me to push the boundaries of my craft. Every click of the shutter is fueled by the hope that I can gift you with something beautiful, meaningful, and unforgettable.

Born and raised in Rockford, Illinois, I am an avid coffee drinker who begins each day with a warm cup...or three. My three boys and supportive fiancé are the driving forces behind my life, and I find immense joy in playing with my kids or cheering them on from the sidelines during their sports events. In my free time, I enjoy staying active by exercising, which not only helps me maintain a healthy lifestyle but also provides an outlet for my energy. When I'm not breaking a sweat or hanging out with the little ones, I enjoy watching UFC and supercross races. But perhaps what truly defines me is my passion for perfecting my craft. Whether it's honing my photography skills or exploring new techniques, I am always seeking to push the boundaries of my creativity.—
