I am a Minnesota based photographer specializing in travel and landscape photography. I officially got into photography when I purchased my first DSLR after being inspired at a local art fair. When it arrived, I had no idea what to do with it and it intimidated me, so it sat in its box in the corner for the next 4 months mocking me. One day the camera taunted me too many times, and I finally signed up for a couple of classes.

At that point I was able to start to gain control over my camera, and after practicing nearly every weekend, I hit my next big plateau. I was dissatisfied with almost all my shots but could not figure out why, I began to read books and magazines on photography and eventually I broke out. After this occurred, our vacations turned into photography trips where the position of the sun and tidal schedules determined when we woke up and when we went to bed and my portfolio grew.

I still learn every time I go out and shoot, and still find I hit plateaus that may last for weeks or months. I continually push myself out of my comfort zone to learn and make my photos better.

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed creating it.
