I am a photographer based in the southern Missouri Ozarks. My interest in photography began at an early age, when I would eagerly take photographs with any camera I could get my hands on.My journey became more intentional on July 27, 2010, when I purchased my first digital camera—a Canon EOS Rebel T1i—to photograph the birth of my daughter the following day. That meaningful experience inspired me to explore landscape and nature photography. Living in the Ozarks gives me endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and capture the natural beauty surrounding me. I am continually refining my photographic skills and developing new processing techniques to create images that reflect the landscapes and wildlife I encounter. I currently use a Canon 5DS R for landscape photography and a Canon 5D Mark IV for nature and wildlife photography.
