Humans are storytellers, we weave meaning into our lives through narrative, both real and imagined. In modern times we think of stories told through words, but our earliest ancestors told stories with pictures. Humans have created a visual tapestry of history and belief, using everything from the walls of caves to the ceilings of cathedrals to teach, inspire, and educate, provoking us towards the highest good. The advent of photography added a new dimension to the arena of visual storytelling. Capturing moments, cataloging memories, and saving stories for future generations became much quicker and easier, and it has only gotten more expedient in the current day when all of us have a powerful camera in our back pocket. With that being said, there is more to good photography than a lens and a memory card. The ease of creating visuals using photography has created many stenographers, but few artists. Elevating these photographs from simple snapshots to compelling narratives is where I come in. Our own lives are amazing stories, and they are worth telling in the best way possible light through narrative driven, visually captivating photos.

My own methodology focuses on the story first approach, telling the truth well and capturing the narrative of the scene in the single frame that photography provides. Photos are by nature a still image, frozen in time and space. They tell the story of a time and place through a single frame. However, good photos go beyond a simple snapshot and compel the viewer to consider the larger whole. My hope and objective is to weave a story into every photograph, and synergize my photo sets to tell the story of a time and place with honesty, integrity, dignity, and beauty. I also strive to capture the memories of the day so that they can be savored for years to come, and shared with the next generation so that they can be inspired and encouraged by those that came before them.



As a photographer and designer, my primary aspiration is the elevation of truth. If I am diligent and docile to the guidance of the holy spirit, I can transform mere truth into beauty, compelling a reaction and demanding the viewers elevate themselves in response. My success in this endeavor is an ongoing process, but as my own story unfolds I move a bit further each day, slowly multiplying my talents and attending to my mission in this life.

Our time in this world is precious, and easily lost in the thresher maw of history. Allow me to capture these moments with the permanence of photography, giving your story a compelling edge, and inviting others to share in the keynotes of your journey on this earth. Together we can leave a trail to find your way back to precious memories, and possibly even inspire the next generation to follow in your footsteps.
