My journey into photo production began in Los Angeles, working inside rental houses, prep bays, and commercial sets where I learned lighting, equipment, and the rhythm of real production.
Those years built discipline and sharpened my understanding of how professional crews operate. On set, strong images don’t come from luck. They come from systems, preparation, and intentional lighting.
Working in those environments taught me how technical decisions affect the final image long before I was regularly behind the camera. That production mindset still shapes how I approach photography today.
Over time I moved deeper into editorial work, portraiture, and brand campaigns, contributing to projects that demanded both creative direction and technical execution.
After a decade in Los Angeles, I returned home to Kansas City with a simple goal: bring big-market production standards to the Midwest creative scene.
Today I work with artists, brands, organizations, and creative teams to produce photography that is thoughtful, lighting-driven, and built on a strong production foundation.
Whether I’m behind the camera or helping shape the light, the goal is the same:
Create visuals that work creatively and technically.
