After running around in the crashing waves we had a chance to enjoy the sunset. Amanda and Danny kept me company during a branding shoot for my business a couple months ago. I hired Alayna Erhart to capture me in my element, photographing couples in love. She has such a unique eye and is a […]

Two of my favorite parts about being a photographer: 1. Spending time with people in love. 2. Playing, learning, and growing in the art. Six years into this and it feels good to get to a place where I am capable of slowing down and being intentional with what I’m creating. Playing with harsh light, […]

Moving to a new state has meant a lot of firsts for me; firsts that have been good for both my heart and my growth as an artist. There’s really something special about living somewhere new. For me, it awakens my mind from routine and knocks me back into this perpetual state of awareness and […]

Mutual respect kind of love… Compromise when it’s needed kind of love..

They tackle life together in the best […]
