Rooted in Connection. Defined by Light.
I grew up on a small tobacco farm in Kentucky, where beauty wasn’t something you chased—it engulfed you. The glow of sunrise, the rhythm of the seasons, the quiet connections woven into daily life. Fleeting, full of meaning.
Those moments shaped how I see the world.
A Life in Stories.
I built my early career in business—co-owning a health insurance agency, navigating paperwork, policies, and the frustrations of a system I didn’t believe in. Healthcare shouldn’t be tied to employment or financial hardship—it should be a universal human right. So I walked away—happily.
But I loved the people. I loved helping in a broken system. What fascinated me wasn’t the numbers—it was the stories, the fears, the aspirations.
That’s what I get to recapture with Still.Life.
I traded sensibility for a camera because stories deserve more than words. They deserve to be seen.

Why Photography?
I have aphantasia—no images in my mind, no recalled senses. Photography is my memory, my tangible record of the world. One day, I’ll take my last frame—until then, I chase moments.
I love the challenge—composition, connection, grace. To witness a person, to honor their history, their journey.
I don’t just capture moments. I capture everything that led to them. The choices, the unseen hours, the weight of time itself.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about reflection.
What Guides My Work
Authenticity → Real stories. No pretense.
Connection → Photography is an act of trust.
Legacy → A visual record of time, meant to last.
About the Work
My work lives between documentary and introspection—a study of how identity, memory, and emotion shape us.
Photography isn’t just about what’s seen. It’s about what’s felt.
Raised on the rhythms of rural life and sharpened by a career rooted in human nature, I merge the raw honesty of documentary photography with a refined awareness of light, shadow, and form.
Photography doesn’t freeze time—it shows us how time moves through us. My work is an exploration of moments, relationships, and meaning—images that don’t just tell a story, but hold a truth.
Let’s Make Something Last.
Your story is already unfolding. Let’s capture it before it fades.
Whether it’s your life, your work, or the fleeting moments in between—I’ll help you see it, frame it, and remember it.
Art challenges convention. Defies expectation. Stay unapologetically yourself—because real art is a declaration of truth.
