Hello friends! I am currently writing to you from my happy place. I’m currently on day 3 of Appaloosa Fest and I couldn’t be more content. I have had the absolute privilege to come take pictures here the past 4 years and I’ve loved every second of it. From the people you meet, the music you hear, and the photo opportunities that present themselves, you … Continue reading Festival Life

After a whole year at RCC and a whole lot of decision making, I decided to go into the portrait concentration. Ironically I signed up for portrait when I was a first year not knowing what kind of a whirlwind RCC was going to throw me into. I started off the year thinking I would end up a PJ student because of my love for … Continue reading I’m a Second Year?

Right when everyone thought the end of shows at New York Pizza was coming to an end, the community pulled together. With new promoters at the little hole in the wall pizza shop, and bar, the shows commenced once again. My roommate’s band, Sideline has made it to my blog before, but it seems like this will unfortunately be the last time. The band is … Continue reading Back to New York Pizza

To do so, I think I need to start doing more projects that I want to … Continue reading Looking For Inspiration

Today is my darling girl, Iris’s birthday. What started as a joke one day between me and my roommate about getting a pet, turned into one of the best decisions we ever made. She has always been on the shy side and tries to avoid people, but she gets more curious everyday. Also, as you can see she makes a great model to practice my … Continue reading Iris

The band and the crowd are on the same level as each other and as you can see above, sometimes, even arm in arm. Everyone is welcome, and everyone has an amazing time. This community is a big … Continue reading House Shows

This past week has been absolutely crazy. Although one bit of news sticks out the most to me. I was officially offered my first tour as a photographer which is something that I have wanted to do since I shot my first concert. Want to know something even better? I would be going on tour with some of my closest friends. Scythian is a band … Continue reading Tour…

Hello photo friends! This week is going to take a big turn into another genre of music that I have been passionate about for a very long time, heavy metal. Heavy metal has always been a genre that some people view as vile, and immoral. Although that has not been my experience whatsoever. Every time I am at a show, I feel safe. I am … Continue reading The Heavy Metal Community

This week I have decided to go into a little more detail about how I got started in the world of concert photography, and who I have to thank for that. For those of you who don’t know, my music taste expands throughout almost any genre you can think of. Although, bluegrass and folk music have always had a major impact on my life. For … Continue reading How I Got My Start.

Hello photo friends! I thought it would be best that my first post on here be about what I am most passionate about, music photography. Growing up I always had friends and family who were incredible musicians but I never got around to playing any myself. I tried desperately to find a way in to the music world and that is when I found photography. … Continue reading My First Post !
