About Me

My photo
I am a young aspiring photographer in the Midwest. I love being outside either mountain biking down a rough muddy single track or snowboarding down a mountain with fresh new powder. I love laughing and being spontaneous. Horses are a new passion of mine and I hope to show someday soon. But my deep deep passion since I was little is photography. I love to take pictures of anything from morning dew on red satin roses to big ole muddy Ford trucks boggin through the mud. I love wildlife photography as well as model/portrait photography. I also photograph families, engagements/couples, weddings and maturity. You name it, I probably like taking pictures of it. Just ask! :)

Barbarossa Family Photos


Stephanie is an old friend whom I haven't seen in years! She contacted me about taking her baby boys first pictures! So I headed out to Coffee Creek in Chesterton/Porter area to meet her new boy, Blake, and her husband. Here are a few of the pictures I took of Blake and the family. Enjoy! :)

This was the point where Blake had enough.. and was barely showing us his gorgeous smile. But we worked with what he gave us! Hes such a cute little guy!

Southern Indiana

(My first HDR :) )

At the beginning of October I went down to southern Indiana with Alex to his home town Batesville. It is a gorgeous town with a friendly atmosphere! Alex is an avid deer hunter and loves the outdoors as do I. So we did a lot of outdoorsy stuff. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. All the pictures are taken with my D80 and my 35mm lens. Enjoy! :)A Dairy farm near Alex's house. He is so much in the country, he lives on a dead end street!!!! :O


One of Alex's dogs, Sqeak


Lucy and Alex
Alex's girlfriend ;)


Patch and Alex


Like I said before Alex loves to hunt. Well he also loves to shoot. He has a lot of guns in and around his house. We did do a little shooting while we were down there. I shot his muzzleloader, 50cal. The gun in both the pictures is a Browning 12gauge.

Gorgeous Days Bring Gorgeous Pictures! :)

The warm weather has definitely gotten me outside to shoot more! I am very excited for the buds on the trees and the flowers coming up everywhere! I love Spring! These pictures were taken in the last couple weeks on nice warm days. Can't wait til summer!!! :)


I decided to take a walk with my dog Boomer down the street. Not only did he get some excersize, I was able to take some really nice pictures! It was just about sunset and the sun was giving off its gorgeous glow!!!




I went with Bryan to his grandparent's house for Easter. A lot of his family were there and I made friends with an adorable little girl named Kolby. She loved the camera and would always stop what ever she was doing so I could take a picture.

Who knew that stuff right outside my boring ole house would turn out to be such a neat picture! I guess its not what you have, its how you use what you have! :P


My dog, Boomer. 9 months!
