HELLO! I am an Ohio-based photographer who specializes in emotive and documentary-style, natural light images. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Ohio State University, I moved back to my native Hocking Hills where I currently live and work. I am the recipient of several honors including Ohio Associated Press Best Feature Photo, Ohio Associated Press Best Illustration, as well as a Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Award. I have also received the Hocking County Mental Health Advocate Award for my work as a photography mentor for at-risk youth in the community. When I’m not working, I go on adventures with my husband, Ryan Grundish, and our two energetic boys, Huxley and Elan. Things I really like: Modern Library’s 100 Best Novels, BBC Earth nature documentaries, atmospheric/ambient music, beauty in the mundane, sunsets, country drives, cooking, little kid jokes, hiking, road trips, Project Runway, Star Trek The Next Generation, and sharing special moments.
