Passionate Lifestyle Portrait Photographer in Frederick, Maryland

In a high school darkroom in small-town Indiana, I discovered photography. I furthered my interest in photojournalism when I studied International Relations at American University in DC. I didn't become a Japanese translator as I had planned, but I did get to travel the world and experience some amazing things.

I got hooked on capturing people, and by my senior year at AU, I had made it nearly a full-time job. A year-long gig sitting in a cubicle for the government after graduation made it clear to me that owning my own business (and not being in an office) was the right path. I decided to make photography my full-time job...and 21 years later- I'm still here.
