a little bit about me

I grew up in the small town of Stamford Nebraska. I am currently located in Hays, KS but LOVE to travel! I have been taking pictures all of my life. Starting out in 4-H to Rodeos and Journalism to learning a lot on my own! My love for photography shines through in every picture I capture. I can guarantee I will most likely have some sort of camera in my hands at all times!

Outside of taking pictures you can find me listening to music, dancing, going to concerts, crocheting, making necklaces and lariat rope baskets! What can I say? I am a jill of all trades! Ever needing anything else I am your girl!

I grew up on a ranch and competing in rodeos around Nebraska. Even though I am not there all time I still go back many times to help with calving season and anything else! My brother and I raise horses and miniature donkeys together. If it was up to my brother we would have one or two of every living animal around!

Can't wait to work with you! :)

I truly owe it all to my parents. When I was just 8 years old, they gave me my very first waterproof camera, and from that moment on, I was constantly running around capturing the little moments people seemed to love so much.

My passion for photography really grew through 4-H. Seeing people stop to look at my work — sometimes even coming back to look again — meant everything to me. I loved watching others connect with a photo and find a deeper meaning within it. Those moments sparked something in me that never faded.

If it weren’t for my parents’ endless support and encouragement, I never would have continued capturing memories and meaningful moments throughout high school and college. Their belief in me is what helped turn a childhood hobby into the passion and career I have today.
