From the time I first picked up a camera more than twelve years ago, I've always been drawn to the duality of both/and in my lens. It wasn't long before I began to recognize a shift in my focus that moved beyond standard sessions to the intricacies of life.

 

"Life Through the Lens of Hope" was, at the time, a byline that appeared in my first website launch. And even after years of iterations, it's remained a fundamental part of the way I work and see the world. More importantly, this creative work has been instrumental in my own healing and helping to rebuild my worldview & faith that had been all but shattered as a "recovering" pastor's kid. ​

 

This is my home base to honor hope in ALL of its forms- whether you're celebrating a milestone, welcoming a new baby, walking an unexpected path, or wanting to do a deep dive into the power of hope in storytelling.
