Well, if you’d like to know more about me, I have a deep love for my dog, Mya, and all animals in general. I have a vast collection of vinyl records, cameras, and plants.
You may have seen me without a camera, but instead, a microphone. I am thankful to have developed a talent for emceeing and hosting events. I have a natural energy, passion and fun that I bring to events. I am available for hire— Check out some of the events I’ve done in the past and drop me a line.

Located in the Jones 421 building on Phillips Ave in Sioux Falls, these ladies love what they do and they bust their butts to fulfill orders, fill the cases, and for me, they make delicious (NON-boozy) pupcakes for my dog birthday sessions and special dog events. They have a fun variety of cupcakes, specialty cakes, holiday desserts, cookies, muffins, bars, whoopie pies, and those wonderful pupcakes. They even have a VIP wall of photos (Very Important Pups). Mya is on there! If you’re ever close to the Jones 421 building, pop in and check out their bakery!

A bit more about me…
My interest in photography began when I was only thirteen years old before the days of digital photography. I photographed 35mm for many years, and learned how to use a black and white enlarger at fifteen. My love for film and silver gelatin prints has not left, and I am currently building a fine art site and will be selling prints at various events and online. Watch for those details soon.
I would also like to invite anyone that has an interest in film photography, no matter what level or even if you have a camera or not, please join our Sioux Falls Film Photographers group. We meet monthly—nerd out about cameras, film, sales, ideas, and even do film walks together to enjoy film photography. We help each other and even sell or lend equipment to each other. Join by clicking here, we are a laid back group and love photography.
