I have lived on the Oregon coast my entire life, and have grown accustomed to the outdoor lifestyle it offers. I grew up surfing on our local beaches, and have spent most of my childhood and adult years exploring the local trails and forests. One of my biggest inspirations for photography has been my father. Growing up, we spent a lot of time outdoors as a family, and he always managed to capture the moment with a camera. So for me, photography has simply become a way of life, a way to capture how I see the world that I so frequently explore.
Originally, I started out doing landscape photography, simply taking images from hikes or scenic drives I had done, and it wasn't until 2013 that I really considered doing events or portrait photos. If you pair my passion for adventure and the outdoors with a desire to capture memories, sharing that with other people was the next logical step.
