Gig of the Year 2018

Great client relationships are important, but it’s often the pro bono gigs that give me the chance to branch out, sharpen new skills and stay creatively fresh.

Annie

I got an ask from a friend to do her daughter’s senior pictures. I don’t always go looking for those assignments as much, but end up loving it every time. After a summer of a lot of other things going on, it was great to get back into a creative rhythm and Annie was an […]

The Coon Family on the Farm

I have some dear friends that have been and incredible encouragement to our family – one of which is an incredibly talented photographer.
