Becoming a Commercial Photographer: My Journey from Montana to Las Vegas
Photography has always been more than just a career for me—it's a passion that shapes how I see the world. My journey began at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana, my home state, where I gained a solid foundation in everything from portrait photography to studio photography, which I’ve used to build my successful career as a commercial photographer. Over the years, I’ve specialized in areas like beauty photography, model photography, and product photography, helping clients tell their stories through compelling visuals.

My Photography Journey: From Education to Expertise
Attending Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula provided me with essential technical skills that helped me become a professional photographer. It was there that I honed my craft in areas such as still-life photography, product videography, and stop motion. As I evolved, I embraced commercial photography as my niche, developing a portfolio that includes professional headshots, product photography, and videography projects for brands and businesses.
While my career began in Montana, I’ve always been connected to Nevada, where I currently work as a Nevada photographer. This has allowed me to serve clients across a range of industries, offering high-quality commercial photography and professional videography to meet their branding and marketing needs.
