I’m a professional photographer based in New Mexico, where the southwest vast landscapes, dramatic skies, and breathtaking sunsets provide endless inspiration. Originally from North Texas and a United States Air Force veteran, my passion for photography began early, sparked by watching my father work in his darkroom. Seeing the magic of an image come to life left a lasting impression on me and instilled a deep appreciation for the craft—an appreciation that has continued to grow and evolve throughout my life.

For me, photography is more than capturing a scene—it’s about exploring the world with curiosity and uncovering the beauty that lies in everyday moments. I’m fascinated by the interplay of light and shadow and how subtle shifts in light can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. Whether I’m photographing the vibrant hues of the southwest, the intricate textures of a landscape, the tiny details in my macro work, or the timelessness of my black & whites, I strive to capture those fleeting moments where light changes everything.

Inspiration

My approach to photography is driven by a desire to not only document what I see but also to convey how it feels to stand in that moment—to immerse the viewer in the quiet wonder of a place or the unspoken emotion of a scene. Each image is an exploration, a reflection of my ongoing quest to see the world differently and share that vision with others.

Giving Back

Beyond my personal work, I am also dedicated to using my photography to serve the community. I volunteer my time and skills with Albuquerque Animal Welfare, Bernalillo County Animal Care Services, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, creating impactful images that tell meaningful stories. Whether capturing the unique spirit of an animal in need of a home or documenting moments that honor and support veterans, I believe photography has the power to make a difference—and I’m proud to use my craft to give back.
