Live | Laugh | Photograph

 

I was called a 'tom boy' growing up on a cattle ranch west of Calgary. Mom couldn't get me in a dress, but she knew how much I loved my cowboy boots and baseball caps. Not much has changed. Horses, branding pens, wheat fields, beautiful skies, and dusty backroads make me happy.

For the past 25 years, I have enjoyed an amazing career in agriculture working for crop protection and animal nutrition companies in sales and marketing roles. I started picking up the camera 10 years ago when I couldn’t find the visuals to tell the story. Very quickly, I discovered my camera was providing the fuel to ignite the creativity my right brain was craving. Those images I took brought me right back to my childhood grass roots.

Today, my photography focuses on capturing genuine moments of hard-working farmers and ranchers along with their crops and livestock. I am eager to share the story of agriculture through my photos. But I also want my audience to feel the moment like they are there: relate to it, empathize with it, and most of all, connect to it.

I've enjoyed photographing and doing work with many clients including Agriculture for Life, BayerCrop Science, the Calgary Stampede, Corteva, Hi-Pro Feeds, Syngenta Canada Inc., Trouw Nutrition, and WestMET Ag.

If you have a vison or an idea, I would love to work with you to get the results you want. Let's capture the integrity, excitement, and splendor of the agriculture industry, and share it with the rest of the world. I also photograph families and seniors with or without your four-legged fur babies. Send me a quick email so that we can connect.
