About Me

A happy family of eight, including adults and children, standing outdoors in fall with trees in the background with orange and yellow leaves, during sunset.

For more than 17 years, photography has allowed me to step into some of life's most meaningful moments.

I've photographed weddings, welcomed newborns into growing families, celebrated graduating seniors, documented businesses, and helped real estate professionals showcase homes. Every session has reinforced one simple truth: every person, every family, and every home has a story worth telling.

While weddings shaped much of my career, my passion has evolved. Today, my focus is helping families preserve the moments that often pass by too quickly and helping homeowners, Realtors, and businesses with their imagery needs to better showcase who they are and what they do.

I don't believe the best photographs come from perfect poses or forced smiles. They come from genuine laughter, quiet moments, and the little interactions that make your story uniquely yours. Whether we're walking a country road at sunset, spending time together at home, or photographing a property ready for its next chapter, my goal is to always produce work that is as unique as your story.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with companies including Google, Heartland Dental, EJ Water, Midland States Bank, Firefly Grill, Agracel, the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship, and much more. Those experiences taught me the importance of professionalism, consistency, and attention to detail… qualities I bring to every family session, home listing, and commercial project.

Based in Central Illinois, I'm proud to serve families and businesses throughout Effingham, Mattoon, Altamont, Shelbyville, Dieterich, and the surrounding communities.

Because at the end of the day, photography isn't just about creating beautiful images. It's about preserving memories, celebrating milestones, and telling the story of home, whether that's the people who fill it with love or the place where a new chapter is about to begin.
