Fully Insured
Maintains a Clean Safety Record
As a lifelong photographer, former EMT, paramedic, flight nurse, and nurse practitioner, I bring a unique storytelling perspective to both still photography and aerial drone imagery. Years spent viewing the world from above shaped the way I notice light, movement, perspective, and meaningful moments—an influence that continues to define my photography style today.
From scenic aerial views of Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River to authentic everyday moments on the ground, my goal is always to preserve emotion, connection, and perspective through every image I create.

I’m not the type to sit still for long—I’m always up for the next story worth chasing.
Whether that means following canoe racers down the Mississippi River, capturing Lake Pepin water skiers from above with my drone, or captaining my boat with an all female crew from Door County, Wisconsin back to southeastern Minnesota, I’m drawn to movement, water, and real-life adventure.
