Your Story - My Lens

Portrait Photographer • Photojournalist • Visual Storyteller
Based in Eugene, Oregon

The most meaningful photographs begin with trust.

Many people tell me they're uncomfortable in front of a camera. They worry they aren't photogenic or won't know what to do. That's completely normal. My role isn't simply to make photographs—it's to help you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. That's when genuine expressions and meaningful portraits emerge.

You deserve more than a beautiful photograph.

Together we'll create artistic images that captures the presence, confidence, and essence that make you unforgettable.

 I've photographed people from every walk of life. As a photojournalist, I've worked throughout Oregon and around the world, documenting communities, humanitarian projects, and everyday life. Those experiences taught me to slow down, listen first, and see people with curiosity, compassion, and respect.

That same approach guides every portrait session. Whether I'm photographing an individual, a family, an artist, an author, or an organization, my goal is to create timeless photographs that reflect character, confidence, and the qualities that make each person unique.

In addition to portrait photography, I continue to photograph editorial and documentary assignments and enjoy speaking to community groups about photography, culture, and the remarkable people I've met throughout my career.

Photography has opened doors to places and people I never imagined I'd encounter. Today, I share those experiences through Laughing Planet Journeys, leading small-group photography and cultural trips to Cuba and Guatemala. If you're looking for a deeper way to experience another culture through photography, conversation, and genuine human connection, I invite you to join me on a future journey.
