After my son was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, we spent many hours in the car, criss-crossing the Palouse region—the beautiful rolling hills of north Idaho and eastern Washington—between home and the children's hospital. The beauty of the landscape struck me in a new way, and to pass the time, I started bringing my camera along for the ride and shooting photos at 60mph through the car window. Ove
r time, friends started asking if they could buy prints of some of those photos, and so I started wondering if I should take photography more seriously. I began investing more time and energy into making photos worth framing, and within a couple of years had enough photos I was happy with to start a small online photo business. In addition to photography, I dabble in art and work as a freelance graphic designer, so some of that work is also available for sale as well, in the form of coffee mugs, cards, calendars, and more.
