THINGS WE BELIEVE IN
TIMELESS ELEGANCE WILL ALWAYS OUTSHINE FLEETING TRENDS
meet Natalie
I grew up around photography, watching my aunt build her business during a time when everything was shot on film. I loved her in-home studio and her outdoor props she had, it all felt so magical to me! I was honored when I finally got to shadow her to see the inner workings of everything she did for her business. Film will always be a love of mine, and for this reason I aim to emulate film into my digital work, though I still offer film photography for those that request it.

I love all things nostalgic, cherishing moments with my four babes and hubby, and making sure to capture every moment (9,000 photos later my phone is filled). I enjoy the simple things in life- roasting marshmallows around a bonfire, enjoying the breeze off the lake on a hot summer day, silence (or the lack thereof) while I drink my morning coffee. Every moment, every breathe, is a gift from the Lord - He is the very reason I'm here, so with that I aim to glorify Him through everything I do.āāā

Growing up as a military brat, I moved constantly, eventually landing in Panama while my father was stationed in South Korea. On one of his visits, he gifted my sister a Sony camcorder—she wasn’t too interested, but I was hooked. I studied the manual like scripture and started filming everything—family gatherings, road trips, even school projects, turning them into fun skits and short films.

This passion led me to study marketing and digital video production in college and serve as a media specialist in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. When I met my wife, Natalie, on ChristianMingle.com, she shared her love for photography, and I fully supported her journey. As her business grew, I saw an opportunity to incorporate videography, and soon, we became the husband-and-wife team we are today. It’s been an incredible ride, and I can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes us.
