Intro

Growing up, I was always outdoors. Exploring the boundaries and looking closer at what was right in front of me. It has always been a place of excitement and rest – whether soaking in the sunsets on Lake Michigan, observing insects going about their busy routine in a meadow, or the “silence” found trekking in the woods. Since picking up a camera more than 15 years ago, I’ve enjoyed working with a variety of subjects—most of the time spent on portraiture. Capturing expressions, personalities and contextual environments is fascinating and unique to each person’s story. Over the past few years, I decided to go back to my roots and explore the wilds from behind the lens. The change has been rewarding and has reawakened a lot of the fascination with nature from childhood. Photography will always be a part of how I experience the world on this side of heaven.
