I'm a Oregon native, with a passion for exploration, coastlines, breathtaking views, and blooming flowers. After following my artistic calling, I had a brief stay at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I decided I needed the color green & some manual labor in my life, so I moved up north and painting houses for a couple years. I heard the call of the mountains and packed up to move east to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I got a bit homesick & moved back to Oregon were I met my wife. We got married in 2014, which is also the year I enlisted in the Army National Guard of Oregon. After I got home from basic and my army education I started building a career in the corporate world of digital advertising. Fast forward to 2020, My wife and I welcomed our first child into the world. I made some Lifestyle changes both physically and spiritually so I could be a better role model and human. As the pandemic sank in, we watched the landscape of our environment in and outside of our home change drastically. We saw this as a golden opportunity to really be involved with the development of our kids and ultimately lead to where I am today. Thanks to my BOSS of a wife! I am fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home dad during the day and a photographer also during the day.
Testimonials
"I don’t have words to explain how pleased I was taking family photos with Josh. Our kids (two and four) often get nervous around new people and have shut down during photo sessions in the past, but Josh was beyond amazing with them and got them to smile, laugh, and be total hams at our shoot! I cannot believe the amount of photos and memories he captured that I not only like but LOVE! He captured moments with ALL of us smiling and laughing. The photos share the fun our family has together and are more than just photographs, but instead memories and moments captured. He even got my WILD son to sit still which is unheard of! Photos were back to us within days. I would recommend him so highly, yet hope he doesn’t get too famous so that I’m able to book with him again in the near future."

Josh,
Thank you for your gorgeous work. You truly captured the essence of our family. I was a little unsure what would happen after witnessing the wild energy the boys brought to the shoot, but you harnessed that into beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. Thank you for being so easy going and making the shoot so fun. We hope to work with you again in the future.
