As a Washington native, I laid roots in Skagit County in 2013. I have been passionate about photography since I was a kid, having my first photo published in a national magazine at ten years old. Over the years, I have developed my skills and had numerous photos published online and in magazines internationally. I recently found my passion really lies in working with people and capturing those milestone moments in their lives. In 2022, I decided it was time to open Skagit Photography and share my passion for capturing moments with those in my community.When I’m not studying numbers or behind the lens, you can find me camping and exploring with my dogs!
