I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio and then moved to South Florida to study photography at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. At AI I learned so much and had wonderful experiences with different photographers. Following school I accepted a job with an amazing photography studio, Creative Focus, Inc. In my years working with the studio my knowledge of photography grew more than I could ever imagine. I managed our commercial division of the studio where I have gotten to work with amazing companies and people. I spent the weekdays shooting corporate events and the weekends shooting weddings. The amazing locations and people that Florida has to offer was a great experience but when I knew it was time to open my own studio, there is nowhere else that I would want to be then back in Ohio. So, after four years in the hot, humid Florida sun I moved back to Ohio (yes I know you think I'm crazy) and found the perfect location in Downtown Findlay in 2013 since then we have moved to a large studio on the east side of Findlay.

I love to travel and experience new things. I believe in true love and love at first sight. I believe in following your passion. I believe in a good laugh. Whether I am capturing your first kiss as husband and wife, chasing kids around a park, capturing the beauty and glow in your final month of pregnancy, waiting for that perfect expression of a newborn, or capturing the real version of a high school senior I want to be apart of your special moments.

I believe that photographs give us a chance to freeze moments in time and to always remember the good times. I can't think of anything else that I would rather to be doing.

I look forward to hearing from you and I hope I can help capture your special moments.
