My story

Hi there! It looks like you’d like to know more about me—so here’s my story.

I was born and raised in Waconia, Minnesota. Growing up as the only boy in a house of five sisters, you might think it was challenging, but I loved it! I was blessed with loving parents who worked hard to provide for our family, and I was satisfied.

Thats how it was until my sophomore year of high school when my mental health took a turn... I found myself in a dark place. It was there when the Lord saved my life—He brought me from death to life. I share this part of my story because it’s who I am at my core. My faith is literally why I do what I do and why I run this business.

But if you’re still curious about me, here’s a bit more: I’ve been running this photography business for almost two years now. Started as a hobby and has grown into an intense passion. I remember the number of times I’ve caught myself smiling at my photos while editing them—it’s almost creepy haha. But that is the joy this work brings me.

In addition to photography, I’m also a licensed real estate agent with Pemberton Homes, the #1 team in Minnesota. When I’m not taking photos or helping people buy and sell their dream homes, I work part-time at my church as a communications intern. Which means I run the photography, videography, and management of their social media.

What can I say? I’m a work-driven guy who loves what he does.

Anyway, I won’t share everything about myself here—we’ll save the rest for our photo session!
