ABOUT

Hi! I’m an Austin-based photographer and stop-motion artist known for being a creative problem-solver. I specialize in crafting bold, vibrant, and energetic images for food, beverage, and product brands. I strive to bring a fun and engaging approach to every project.

With clients ranging from national food chains like Panda Express to major alcohol brands like Old Forester Whisky, supplement brands like Vital Proteins, and editorial publications like AARP, I'm flexible on set and adaptable to any production size.

My approach is playful with an eye for detail. I look for subtle nuances to make the work pop and love experimenting with color and lighting. I’m not afraid to push creative boundaries.

I try to nurture and create an environment on set where people are relaxed and feel comfortable. I find that the magic moments flow out of these kinds of collaborations.

The most rewarding part of my job is seeing a client smile with excitement at the end of a shoot. It brings me incredible joy and appreciation to be trusted with their vision.

Originally from Montana and Colorado, I now call Austin, TX home.

Let's work together!
