Photography isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am. I started OneBloom Photography in 2005 with a clear purpose: to create images that don’t just capture moments, but preserve emotions, energy, and connection.

With a background in art and graphic design, I bring a creative eye to everything I shoot. Early on, I was drawn to photography’s ability to tell stories in a way no other medium can. That passion pushed me to refine my skills at the Hallmark Institute of Photography, one of the top professional photography schools in the country. There, I learned to combine technical mastery with creative instinct, with those skills I still use today on every assignment.

For nearly two decades, I’ve photographed everything from intimate weddings to large-scale commercial shoots. But my focus is always the same: creating timeless, intentional images for people who care about quality and authenticity. I’ve worked with hundreds of a variety of clients throughout the Pacific Northwest, and the trust they place in me is something I take seriously.

Clients often tell me they chose OneBloom because I’m easy to work with - laid-back, clear, and professional. I don’t over-direct or over complicate things. I listen. I adapt. And I make the experience feel natural and effortless, whether we’re capturing a big milestone or a simple, quiet moment. I love my craft. I want it to show!

Real experience. Real connection. Real results.

My style is clean, bold, technical and emotionally honest. I aim to make people feel something when they see the final images, not just remember what happened, but to relive it.

Whether you’re getting married, launching a new brand, or building your professional image, I’ll guide you through the process with skill, patience, and a sharp creative eye.

I call Vancouver, Washington home, but I regularly travel throughout the region and beyond for photography assignments. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s not just talented, but also truly committed to understanding what you want, then let’s connect.
