Tailored Photography That Brings Your Story into Focus
With over twenty years of experience behind the camera, I’ve had the privilege of capturing a wide range of subjects—from 35, 120, and instant film, to nature, graffiti, and more recently, digital and mirrorless photography. My passion lies in portraiture, where bringing a specific vision to life and collaborating with others to achieve it is both exciting and fulfilling. A particular highlight for me has been photographing roller derby. I’ve had the opportunity to shoot for teams like the Dallas Derby Devils, North Texas Roller Derby, and Assassination City Roller Derby, capturing the energy and intensity of the sport. I’ve also honed my skills through formal education, studying photography at Dallas College. My courses with talented instructors like Marcy Palmer, Wayne Lucas, and Gary McCoy deepened my knowledge and gave me more insight in a few semesters than I had gained in years of self-teaching. I’m always eager for new projects—whether working independently or collaborating with clients. I bring a keen eye, technical expertise, and a strong creative drive to every endeavor, aiming to produce work that truly stands out.
By collaborating, we have the opportunity to create something truly valuable—far beyond a simple exchange of money for services. I invite you to explore my portfolio and reach out. I’m eager to connect and discuss the exciting possibilities we can bring to life together!

Sports
Roller Derby Portfolio
I have been photographing roller derby since 2018 for Dallas Derby Devils during scrimmages, and actual games and event for Assassination City Roller Derby in Dallas Texas! It's by far and away my favorite sport, and it's a challenge to shoot as most rinks don't have ideal lighting situations for photography. But I wouldn't trade it for the world! Absolutely contact me if you want a scrimmage, bout, or event photographed!
I am also able and willing to do package headshots for teams, volunteers, and skating officials!

Nature/Street
Nature, Landscape, & Street Photography Portfolio
Landscape, Nature, and Street Photography wouldn't really fall into a commercial category so much as an artform.
Sharing your connection with the land and environment with others. That being said, I have photographed national parks, hikes, and trails in Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. Together we can create something of value far beyond an exchange of money for services. I'm looking forward to discussing what we can build together!
