Portrait and Food Photography


I grew up in Duluth, MN where I began rock climbing when I was a teenager. Standing at rock climbing crags for hours at a time, I became attracted to the variations in light that would reflect on the rock throughout the day. I first picked up a camera when I tried to capture the light I was seeing and I attempted to showcase my friends and climbing partners how I was seeing them. These early efforts led me to move to Vail, Colorado where I lived for eight years until 2016 when I moved back to Minneapolis to study photography. It is my hope that my love for travel and the outdoors combined with my affinity for photography will allow me to shoot unique subjects in different light all over the earth.
