Igen's Senior Photos

I met Igen several years ago while photographing his family. It was a unique and special experience to learn more about him, his hobbies, passions, and dreams, and especially to incorporate those into this photo album. Walking the trails he regularly runs with his cross country team, I hope we were able to capture and our conversations in these photos and to immortalize those hopes and dreams of his in doing so.

Alayna's Senior Photos

It’s such a cool opportunity to meet and photograph a high school senior, to learn about them as a person and to try to encapsulate that human being in a few photos. I think Alayna and I did a pretty good job of that during our session, but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

Olivia's Senior Photos

What a joy it is to take a little bit of artistic license and run with it, especially when your subject is not only on board, but fully invested in making a vision come to life. Olivia did just that, and the result was impeccable.

Jaiden's Senior Photos

You wouldn’t be able to tell that it was close to 100ºF during most of this senior photoshoot with Jaiden, but you’d hardly be able to tell! She was an absolute gem to work with, and despite feeling a little self-aware at the beginning of the session, Jaiden took direction to heart and did a fantastic job flowing through poses like a natural. Such a fun shoot on an otherwise beautiful day!

Rachel & Teryn's Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Rachel and Teryn’s engagement last year, so I was more than happy to oblige when they asked if I’d come back to shoot their wedding as well––on the exact date I’d photographed their engagement, no less!

Ben & Brooks' wedding

In spite of the weather reports leading up to the day, Ben & Brooks’ wedding was held in the most perfect June weather. The lilacs were in bloom, the birds were singing, and the sun smiled down on the day.

Richard & Ella's wedding

I wanted Richard and Ella’s wedding to evoke something special. I love doing portraits in black and white, so naturally I was going to make that happen for their wedding, with a hundred or more folks flying in from across the country and from around the world.

Luke & Kat's wedding

Luke and Kat requested that I take some photos towards the very end of their reception as they left, walking by their family and friends, each holding a sparkler to illuminate and send these two off in style. I was, of course, happy to oblige.
