I haven't always been a photographer.

For years, I worked in Mental Health, coaxing stories and trust out of people who barely knew me; People who were at the toughest moments in their life. They have taught me so much about this one short life, about overcoming, about loss, and about love. They also taught me that beauty is present in all situations, if you are patient enough to notice it.

When I started my journey as a photographer, I took these principles along with me. They are my secret weapon, my go-to source for inspiration. I will always be grateful for them.

Overall, I'm a simple person. No frills, no fuss.
I love the crisp winter air across my cheeks and big huge bear hugs.
Born and raised in Northern Minnesota, my heart calls the woods home; the big lake cleanses my spirit.
Oh, and I can handle the cold like nobody's business. :)

I am so glad you are going to share this journey with me.
I can't wait to see it all -

I can't wait to tell your story, too.
