I have always had a great love for photography, all the way back to when I was 9 and wrote a paper on how to take a pictures for my third grade class. Along with my father's great love for photography and teachings, I knew what my true passion in life was.

I recieved my Bacholers of Arts Degree in Photography and Mass Communications from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. My training and education is in fine art photography, portrait photography and photojournalism. With interships at newspapers, an ad agency and portrait studios, I can handle any event with the professionalism that it deserves.

I have been published in a number of national newspapers, magazines, catalogs, and art galleries.

Our Business

While on my drive back home from my internship in Alaska (4000 miles!), I desided what I wanted to do with my education. So in August of 2006, I opened the doors to M Studios. We are trained in covering  Weddings, Seniors, Portaits /Children,  Modeling / Head Shots and Commercial photography..
