I am a recent graduate from Houghton University with a BFA degree in Studio Arts, and a BS degree in Equestrian Performance. 

I first picked up a camera in high school as an assignment for my yearbook club to go photograph a sporting event. I was hooked immediately on how much fun it was to capture movement and light in just one click. As I've grown as a photographer I've developed my own style of taking photos and editing, but my passion remains the same. 

I have been drawing and painting ever since I could hold a pencil. Horses were often the subject of those drawings as well. When I began taking riding lessons at age 15, I was able to drastically improve my artwork based around horses, and with that, grew my love for realistic work.
