I started out in photography by taking a class at a community college in Beginning Digital Photography where I obtained the basic knowledge of working with a digital camera. After practicing and learning post processing techniques, I began to travel and explored various areas in Arizona, looking to capture the beauty of my state. My passion grew more and more as I got further along and started to feel a connection with Mother Earth and Father Sky.

After two years of photographing landscapes, I was ready to give portrait photography a try. I found portraiture to be a little more challenging, it required me to learn more about lighting and posing. I had to pay more attention to composition and the details in the image, and learn how to capture the spirit of the individual in the portrait.

I was born and raised on the Navajo reservation and grew up in northern Arizona, in a small town called Kayenta. I currently live in Prescott Valley, Arizona and have lived and worked here for 20 years. I attended school in Tempe, Arizona and graduated with a Associates Degree in Graphic Design and have worked as a graphic designer for 12 years. I have been a landscape and portrait photographer for 14 years.
