Yesterday I had the honor of photographing the graduation ceremony for Freedom Project Academy! It was a beautiful, intimate occasion, and I loved capturing these special milestones for the graduates and their families. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

It's been a while since I made a post on here, and with winter being a slower time of the year, I thought I would share a "before and after" of an updated headshot I did for work. I love taking pride in every photo I deliver, and sometimes it's nice to show the difference from straight out of camera vs the final version.

Granted phones to a wonderful job of performing computation to process a photo (spoiler, it takes dozens images of the same photo and then uses AI to select what is over and under exposed), but I love doing all the work myself, with actual optical background blur, to produce my vision. I would love to work with you too, and for you to see my vision, and the end result 😊

Year in review: 2025 has been a wonderful year for my work getting attention! From 10+ gigs for Plexus Corp. where I can showcase my work within my company, to weddings and senior portraits, to being able to photograph Kevin Sorbo (Hercules), it was an amazing year. Beyond the big shoots, I’ve spent some quality time on the "small" stuff—painting conversions and those meticulous "touch-ups." In a world where AI is popping up everywhere, the fact that you still choose me to hand-polish your photos means the absolute world 💖💖💖

I appreciate people trusting me with for portraits, life events, and larger gigs that involve hundreds of people; your support and encouragement allows me to continue to follow my passion and allows me to continuously upgrade my equipment. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, for your continued support! I cannot wait to see what 2026 brings!!!
