About Bad Medicine Photography, LLC
Meet the Co-Owner/Professional Photographer
I am the professional photographer for Bad Medicine Photography, LLC.
My formal photography training started in 2014 while in the Minnesota National Guard. I attended a 26-week course, Combat Documentation/Production Specialist, also known as "Combat Camera," where I learned basic photography and videography theories, techniques, and concepts for combat and noncombat operations. Since then, I have retired from the National Guard and transitioned my skills and knowledge into a business.
I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota in Family Social Science and minored in American Indian Studies.
Coming from a public health background, and as a natural helper, I am sensitive to the spectrum of emotional depth found in personal stories. With my camera, I take pride in revealing these unique moments.
