Born and raised in Sparks, Nevada with only a dozen pictures from my childhood. Somewhere along the way from birth to having a family of my own, all of my childhood memories were just that... memories.

Photographs and videos now in the possession of strangers through a string of unfortunate actions I most likely will never see again. I think about this daily and strive to have my kids never experience this ever!
As my wife and I anticipated the arrival of our baby girl, I was determined to capture every beautiful moment of her life for her to relive with her family one day. Little did I know that was the start of my photography career. Years later we have 4 amazing kids who will never wonder what they were like as kids.

My first career as a massage therapist let me feel for the compassion of people. Not only was I healing them but I was listening to them as they told me their deepest emotions... But after the session... they were just like strangers again. I found that with photography I could get to know people and at the same time capture those emotions through images.

The images would produce emotions and memories that would otherwise be forgotten. Being able to translate feeling into image is and will always be my lifelong goal. The right question will spark the light through any person.

The transition from being a massage therapist to becoming a photographer was scary. One day my life needed to change and I needed to follow my passion. I retired from massage and went full force into photography. In the years to come I found myself creating image not only for my clients, but for myself as well.

Rewarding is the best word for my life. But I needed more.

In 2013 I opened a membership based photography studio by the name of Hatch. This studio was built to bring our separate photography community together. Leading with the motto of #communityovercompetition.


I am ego-less. I listen. I create. I learn. The more people I can meet and capture, the more fulfilled I will be. I am not only your photographer, but a friend.

" Spider has single handedly allow me to refocus on doing what I love the most… Shooting! Being able to not worry about dropping my gear and having everything I need in the simple reach of an arm takes all the pressure away for any shoot. I honestly wouldnt be shooting today if it wasnt for my Spider Holsters! " - Jeramie Lu
