Behind every great photo is a story, and my passion for telling them was passed down by my grandfather. He was a professional photographer for the highway patrol and later built his own business doing weddings and portraits. He always had a camera in hand, and I loved the stories he told through his pictures.

I picked up film photography in high school, developing my own negatives in the darkroom, and bought my first DSLR in college while studying music education. After college, I spent years capturing everything from team sports and proms to school portraits with Lifetouch. Today, I work in marketing, but photography remains my true passion. Living in Licking County for over 11 years with my family, I love using my lens to tell authentic, meaningful stories.
