This title might be a little unnerving to read but it's my story. It's part of my journey, my growth and my dream. It is a posting I was asked to write for my friend and mentor Scott Bourne for his wildly successful website Photofocus. Scott is a visionary in the field of photography, maintaining […]

The Lloyd family is quite possibly the cutest family ever! How completely adorable are Chris, Chelsea, Audry and Ezra?

BEHIND THE LENS
I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments.

My approach is both editorial and intimate, capturing not just faces but the emotional landscape of your life. Each portrait is thoughtfully composed to reveal your authentic story while honoring the beauty of the world around you. Your journey is extraordinary and entirely your own, and I'm here to preserve it with the artistry it deserves.
