Wild at Heart

I grew up between the ranch and the shore. There's something about the way light hits the open range at dawn — golden, soft, untouched. That's where I found my eye.

My equestrian work captures the unspoken bond between rider and horse. Not the posed shots, but the quiet moments. The breath before the ride. The wind in the mane.

Love Stories

Coastal weddings have a magic all their own. Salt air in your hair. Sand between your toes. The sound of waves as you say your vows.

I don't just document your day — I capture the feeling. The nervous excitement. The stolen glances. The tears shed when you see your person walking toward you.
