After serving in the military and working many years floating about in different industries I landed on the Idea of attending art school and working in the movie industry. I have been obsessed my whole life with the silver screen and photography, and after being in the military, a cook, an accountants assistant, in sales, and a waitress I followed the advice of a friend who said to me as I complained about the daily grind, "Why don't you just do something in the field of what you love the most?"  

It's an odd moment when you realize you have gotten advice that seems so ridiculously obvious. So - I did. I attended & graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Film & Photography and started my own company in 2012 which today is called Preserve Studio that primarily focuses on Weddings and Commercial/Corporate Projects on a larger scale with my team of incredible creatives. 

As my company (Preserve Studio) has begun to soar and become well established, I have dove deep into the world of Fine Art, Narrative, and Editorial Photography - and it has captivated me. I have woven this dramatic style into everything I capture, with the goal of conveying a visual emotional truth that reveals my subjects or captivates the onlooker. I want to make an image more than beautiful and more than a statement, I want to evoke you into awe.​
