I remember my dad with his old SLR camera, taking photos of my family. I was seven, and we were at Mount St. Helen’s. I stood in front of the half-mountain, fascinated by the dials and buttons on the camera, wondering how they all work together to capture a memory.
I started learning the art in high school. From the beginning I explored minimalism, taking close-ups of tiles and textures on walls, finding beauty in simplicity. When I worked for the student newspaper and annual in college, I developed a deep appreciation for photojournalism. After graduation, I spent summer and fall touring the country with a band from Seattle. I’ve been shooting musicians in Seattle and Spokane ever since. It might just be that I’m getting older, but I find myself more interested in other people’s lives – their stories, lifestyles, and cultures.
Whether they are a young band or a young couple, I’m excited to document their stories with my camera. I enjoy capturing the emotion and significance of moments that you can’t rewind. I aim to shoot photos that are spontaneous, genuine, and alive. It is difficult for a bride and groom to truly take in the whole experience of their wedding. After months of planning, it comes and goes in just a few hours. It is my goal to make their experience and memories tangible through quality photographs that they can reminisce with days and years down the road.
