Awarding-Winning Editorial, Portrait, Travel and Commercial Photographer
I am an editorial, and commercial photographer based in Portland, Oregon. Special rockstar talents include travel, portrait, lifestyle, and documentary photography with an authentic and atmospheric bent. For me photography has always been about the stories; the lives I get to inhabit, document, and share. I focus on finding real moments and getting to the crux of my subjects. Daily, this job both terrifies and invigorates me and the best assignments are the ones where I learn something new.
Other random facts:
I. I have learned there is no normal.
2. Can often be found dancing with my eyes closed, taking myself too seriously and listening really hard.
3. Best compliment ever, "I had a good time during the photo session. The picture you have of me on your website really says a lot about me. Thank you for making our day a time to remember." -Tom Hazel
