Photography History

 

My interest in photography started at a young age, around the time I was 10, while on a road trip to Southern Utah with my family. I had always been fascinated with photography, insisting on being the one to take pictures on our family trips. I started taking pictures with a cheap Kodak 110 camera, which served its purpose for a year or two, until I used the money saved from my paper route to purchase a 35mm camera. My 35mm camera stayed with me throughout high school when I took my first of many photography courses. My love for photography and learning continued as I entered college and stepped into the digital camera era.
Over the years, my passion for photography has continued, and I have evolved from taking pictures on my family vacations to starting a photography business.
I am skilled at photographing a vast variety of subjects, from wedding, engagement, and family photographs to automotive and landscape pictures. I pride myself in providing quality photographs that will capture your special moment in time.
I have had my photographs published in various magazines and my work has been selected to be displayed in the State Fair Fine Arts gallery.
