About
I love the outdoors, my camera and visual design. Also chocolate and traveling the USA. I've had my own portrait photography company and maintained my own blog and website since 2011, always learning along the way. Graduating from BYU-Hawaii with a bachelor's degree in graphic design was one of the best days of my life! It was a long time coming. But after a few years in Hawaii, I've chosen to move my home base to Utah, so I can spend weekends in the mountains and take in the seasons after years without any.

Experience

Photographer, Graphic Designer, OwnerSpringville, UTSep 2011 - Present (13 years 11 months)Owning my own business has forced me to learn a ton and step outside of my comfort zone. I get to practice creating and working with new people on a regular basis, working under pressure to deliver a good product, and maintaining a professional blog and website.

I learned many technical skills, from controlling wide-angle distortion to managing chromatic abberation, and more.
