Behind the Camera

The name Holland Project comes from fond memories of visiting my grandparents in beautiful Holland, Michigan. Just as those memories conjure up feelings of love, joy, and playfulness, my hope is that I can help you create special memories of this moment in time for you.

Photography has tugged at my heart since I was in high school and has grown into a slightly obsessive passion since then.

My favorite places to explore these days are the Colorado mountains, the Grand Tetons, and the Pacific Northwest. While I am not a morning person, I love the unexpected moments of pushing myself to rise early and catch that first golden light of a sunrise.

I have had the joy of teaching photography and continue to learn about my own creativity when I am immersed in nature.

My work comes out of making deeper connections through curiosity about the world and people. I believe in the power of laughter and deep reflection, and my work aims to draw that out in my subjects. My eye is naturally drawn to the beauty of clouds, light, and dramatic skies, and I strive to incorporate those natural elements into my work.
