I am a portrait photographer living in Little Rock, Arkansas. Growing up in northwest Kansas, my siblings and I had ample time to entertain ourselves outdoors. I haven’t outgrown my desire to explore and glimpse the beauty of the times we live in. I have many loves in my life, but one I enjoy most is documenting big and small moments for others. 

I aim to capture the love, the emotion, and memories in a photograph. Let’s create something special that brings a smile and sentimental feelings for years to come.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind

A little about me...

a split brain creative

“I’ve always felt divided between two personalities; a strong creative artsy side coupled with a powerhouse analytical brain. Instead of being at odds with myself I’ve decided to enjoy the best of both.

With a degree in Personal Financial Planning, I am a a full-time trust officer and financial planner by day. I love helping others through the often complex and sensitive task of estate settlement. I cultivated Wild Rye to expand my desire to create and capture all things beautiful for myself and others”
