As we bid farewell to the year, it's a tradition of mine to reflect on the moments I captured over 365 days. As a photographer, I am privileged to chronicle everything from farmers working in their fields to athletes giving their all at pinnacle events to the sunsets and sunrises that define Iowa's landscape.
I'm lucky to continue in this profession that connects me to the lives and issues that shape the world today. The beauty of photography lies in each image's ability to reawaken memories, encapsulate emotions, communicate, and document our shared experiences. I am pleased to share a few of my favorite photos from 2023 - each with its distinct tale to tell. Please join me in revisiting some of these moments.
