Welcome to my site!
A little about me:
I've been painting, drawing, creating, designing, and yes, photographing most of my life. Oddly enough, I have a degree in management from Valparaiso University. While I took many art and photography classes in school, I never thought I'd get to use my artistic talents in the real world. Photography was once a hobby until I was asked to help my photographer cousin in a wedding a few years ago. I gladly accepted and fell in love with the camera all over again. My style has changed through the years as has the technology. I started out using film and those old clunky fully manual cameras. I'm completely digital now and take advantage of all that new technology. Every image you see here has been touched by either Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or both. I spend a lot of time in my "digital darkroom" making sure that all images are not only amazing, but exactly what you're looking for.
