My goal is to…

“Bring my best to each shoot to bring out my client’s best.”

Paulson is a published professional photographer, an Illinois State Art School graduate, and has successfully made his passion a career path.

He hopes his images speak for themselves and that you’ll join him in seeing the light in the world.

“Continuing to pursuing visual art is to plant seeds and cultivate light in the world. We can always use more of that! April and I are passionate about developing our creative skill sets, growing spiritually, and giving Grace an example of what artistic perseverance looks like; true grit.”

Her mother April, is a professional artist as well. We refuse to allow the human touch to leave our humanity as time goes on and see it as our enlightened path, the “why” behind what we do.
