A little
about me
It may sound odd, but my passion for photography came from the film “No Small Affair” with Demi Moore and Jon Cryer. I was fascinated with developing photos in the darkroom. A blank piece of paper could be dropped into a liquid, and an image slowly appeared.
I attended Missouri State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography. After college, I worked as an assistant art director at Noble and Associates, a food and building product advertising agency. At Noble, I learned what it takes to make great photographs from the other side of the camera.
In 2010 I moved to Northwest Arkansas to work as a Creative Director/Senior Photographer at The Elkins Agency. There I helped create the photography studio from the ground up. I put everything I’ve learned from both sides of the camera to be a complete photographer.
In 2020 I decided to make my photography skills available to everyone with the idea that we create great photos by collaborating.
My little home studio is located in the beauty of the Ozarks in Northwest Arkansas, home to Walmart, Sam’s Club, Tyson Foods, and others.
