This tower tells stories — etched into stone, stretching skyward, unshaken by wind or time.

I captured this image of the Astoria Column just before dawn, when the trees were quiet and the sky wrapped the column in its first light of day. The glow caught the top like a crown — soft, radiant, reverent.

I named this piece “Crowned in Light” because it reminded me that what we build in truth and faith, God honors with His glory. It may take years, or even generations. But He sees. He finishes what He starts. And He crowns what is offered in faith.

May this image stand as a symbol in your space — not of your strength, but of God’s. Of His ability to uphold, to preserve, and to shine through what remains faithful.

Printed on premium canvas, metal, or fine art paper
– A powerful gift for mentors, pastors, fathers, or those building legacy in quiet ways

📦 Packaged with care. Created to remind you of what will last.

What makes a single moment worth waking before dawn to capture?

The alarm buzzed at 4:30 a.m., jarring me awake. I stumbled out of bed, groggy yet filled with an odd excitement. The drive to the Astoria Column felt like a pilgrimage, each curve of the road bringing me closer to a vision I had longed to capture. As I arrived, the cool summer breeze wrapped around me like a whispered secret. The air smelled of damp earth and pine, and the faintest light touched the horizon, painting the sky in muted lavender and peach.

Setting up my tripod on the stone walkway, I felt the weight of the moment. The Column stood tall and regal, a beacon against the awakening sky. Colors danced across its surface, a symphony of blues and purples blending with the warm glow of sunrise. The complexity of the light was daunting, each second shifting its hue, challenging my patience and skill. Long exposure photography at this hour was no easy feat; every click of the shutter required precision. I adjusted the aperture, checked the focus, and prayed the wind wouldn’t ripple the tripod.

As the shutter closed, the scene felt alive. The chirping of early birds mingled with the distant hum of the city below. My fingers were cold against the camera, yet my heart felt warm. There, in that fleeting moment, I understood why I had come—to witness beauty unfolding in a way words could never capture. The world around me seemed to hold its breath as if in awe of the colors illuminating the Column.

By the time I packed up, the light had transformed again. The colors faded, giving way to the full brightness of day. Yet, I knew I had caught something rare, something extraordinary. It wasn’t just a photo; it was a glimpse of grace.

Meet The Artist

I discovered my passion for capturing the wonders of creation at twelve, holding a pink camera under the sprawling branches of a black walnut tree. It was spring, and the air carried the heavy perfume of fruit blossoms. Before me stretched a field awash in purple wildflowers, their brilliance framed by clouds lazily drifting across an endless sky. Though recovering from illness, my soul stirred, urging me to preserve the moment. The click of the shutter felt like a vow: I would someday share the beauty of this world with everyone.

But life had its demands, and my dream grew quiet as I matured. At twenty-six, a degenerative nerve disease altered my course. With hands that betrayed me and my vision blurred, the lens seemed further from reach. The ache to create remained, yet my abilities became uncertain and my aspirations distant. I prayed, unsure if the desire to photograph was meant to stay or fade.

In 2019, the quiet ember reignited. With faith as my anchor, I enrolled in classes to master the art I once thought lost. The work was painstaking. My fingers trembled, my sight faltered, but each image I captured spoke of determination. Slowly, I rediscovered my rhythm, my purpose, and my joy.

By 2023, I had learned not only to take photographs but to share them. An online academy guided me in turning passion into livelihood. Hesitant, yet hopeful, I launched a small store, my art a reflection of my journey. That fall, my first sale arrived—a quiet affirmation.

Today, my photographs grace walls and hearts. Each frame whispers stories of resilience and grace, a reflection of a Creator’s hand in my life. Through my lens, I offer the world a glimpse of glory, one image at a time.
