HE IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION. FOR BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED, IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THRONES OR DOMINIONS OR RULERS OR AUTHORITIES—ALL THINGS WERE CREATED THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM. Colossians 1:15-16
Just like Jesus serves as a visible image to see an invisible God, photography allows us to capture a moment and make it tangible. Life, love, or business, I strive to serve my customers with pictures they will treasure for a lifetime.

Western Photography from the Western Industry
I am an adventurer at heart, and while I wasn’t born horseback, I got there as quickly as I could. Growing up in rural Illinois I stole my mom's camera every chance I got. I bought my own to document life working on a guest ranch and the rest is history. I am a graduate of Oklahoma State University and spent several years in central Oklahoma but now call Montana home. From performance horses to cattle ranches, I live and breathe all aspects of the western lifestyle.
I work professionally in agriculture and have ridden my fair share of pastures. I know when to get a gate and when to run from a mama cow who isn't bluffing. More importantly, I know the industry. From brandings with 4 generations to weddings that create a new family, I’ll be there for it all - capturing the perfectly timed shot for a heel catch, ideal angle for your stallion, and smiles after a long days work. There's no story like a western, and I'd be honored to help tell yours.
