I grew up in Minnesota with my two siblings, and now I share my home with my partner and our two adorable cats. After high school, I decided to dive into the world of welding, and I’ve been happily working as an aluminum welder ever since!

 I’ve had a passion for photography since I was a kid. My parents surprised me with a cute little purple Nikon camera, and as I got older, they gifted me a Nikon D3300 for my birthday. I fell in love with capturing moments and became the go-to photographer for my sister and friends! When I started making prints, I finally treated myself to my dream camera, the Nikon D850. 

Besides photography, I have a ton of hobbies that keep me busy and entertained. I love rollerblading, playing music, going to concerts, playing video games, and getting creative with DIY projects. I often snap photos during our adventures traveling or rollerblading with my partner on local trails. Music has always been close to my heart, and I’ve learned to play five different instruments: piano, violin, trumpet, French horn, and mellophone. I even play mellophone in a local adult band called MBI Winds! Oh, and I love building things, too—I’ve got a collection of Legos and have enjoyed working on model cars.
