"I owe it to myself to give photography a real go."
-Me starting this page in 2023.

✨️LIFE✨️UPDATE✨️

A lot has gone on since the start of the year. I was feeling burnt out at my home health job. The universe said, "ok, bet," and i was let go from that job at the end of January which was kinda sucky timing but 🤷🏼

February I applied to 30-35 jobs, had 3 interviews and no follow up calls. Got a phone call to set up an ✨️IMPORTANT✨️ health thing. Turned 31 this year.

March 5th (less than a week after my birthday) I went in for an outpatient surgery to have my uterus amputated! I've been dealing with weird cells the last couple years and it was safest to have a hysterectomy to keep things from progressing. I used this month to heal up and apply to a few more jobs later in the month.

April 7th I applied to job number 50. It lead to a phone interview, in person interview, and last week Friday I had a test shoot with Sweetwater.
I got the call yesterday for a job offer with their product photography department 🥹 I start in a couple weeks. And with it being part time during the week, that leaves afternoons and weekends to put into my nature photography for creative photos.

Forever thankful to my wife for being so supportive during my healing journey while in a rough patch 💜 Telling me to sit down and relax when all I wanted was to get back to normal, but also reminding me that baby steps are still progress. For making me smile and not feel like a burden cause sometimes even going down the stairs for food was hard. For encouraging me to apply for this new job and following my love of photography 💜

Feels like life is about to get better from here 😊

Hey guys!! Valentines Day is coming up quick! These are all the 4x6 prints I have currently and can easily make up more. If you would like to put together a bouquet of photos, I'd be happy to help you with that 😁
Please feel free to message if you have any questions.

Fort Wayne's Fresh Start
January 1, 2026

Just a reminder that this is still going!! Small business Saturday is coming up and I'd be happy to cover shipping fees to send these out 😊

✨️SALE✨THREAD️✨️

💜 If you see something you'd like to purchase, comment MINE with a small description (peony, tulips, sunset) or where it's laid out (top right, middle row left colum).

With not doing any more vendor markets this season, I figured why not do a sale thread. I'll drop items in the comments with what size prints and mats they are.

For the framed photos, I'll let you make me an offer because they aren't a normal piece of inventory. They're left over from my show at Firefly this past July.

As for shipping: if you live in/around Fort Wayne, I'd be happy to meet up with you somewhere. If you live outside of town, shipping is $5 for prints, and $10 for the framed photos (they take more than just a padded envelope).

Stay tuned because I will be adding to this. Out of work sick for a few days so doing what I can with what little energy I have.
