Crypt's Creations

Some shows are loud. Some shows are an experience.

Brave The Spirit brought the kind of energy that makes photographing a live show ridiculously fun.

Fast movement. Big emotion. No shortage of moments worth freezing.

“WE TRULY DID IT ALL FOR THE NOOKIE.”

RIKTR came through and chose violence. 😂

A very rough jazz act from KCMO apparently means screaming your lungs out, throwing yourself around a room, and making a house shake.

Exactly the kind of chaos I want to photograph.

WELCOME TO THE PIT. 🩸

Chaos In Red brought the kind of energy that turns a house show into a full-blown experience.

No massive production. No giant stage. Just a room full of people, a band going absolutely feral, and enough energy to shake the walls.

I was there to catch it all.

Here’s a glimpse into the chaos. 📸

The stage lights were bright, the crowd was loud, and the energy never let up.

It was a pleasure capturing Here, Now Band as they took the stage at Blackthorn Pizza & Pub. Live music is all about those fleeting moments, the passion, the movement, and the connection between the band and the crowd. Grateful to have had the opportunity to document another incredible night of local music.

Keaton Adams Music summoned absolute chaos at The Pitt last Thursday and the crowd loved every second of it. Loud, wild, and unforgettable.

Hey everyone! I’m working on a college photography project focused on environmental portraits capturing people in their natural environments.
I’m looking for individuals who would be willing to be photographed in a space that represents who they are, such as their workplace, hobby space, or anywhere meaningful to them.
No modeling experience is needed! If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), feel free to message me. I’d really appreciate the help!
The deadline for the project is May 10th 2026 at 10:00 PM.

Snuck in some graduation photos for my buddy Ransom.

There’s something different about capturing this moment the late nights, the stress, the “I’m never going to finish” energy all finally paying off. Ransom showed up ready, and we knocked out a mix of clean grad shots and some personality driven ones that actually feel like him.

Moments like this are why I love doing what I do. It’s not just photos it’s freezing that “I made it” feeling before everyone gets pulled into the next chapter.

Congrats, Ransom. The tassel was worth the hassle.

Stumbled onto something awesome on the way home tonight.

Pulled into Brick & Brews in Baxter Springs and walked straight into the 5th anniversary party and Big Smitty was absolutely lighting it up outside. No plan, no expectations, just great music, packed patio, and that perfect small town summer night energy.

Sometimes the best moments are the ones you don’t schedule. You just happen to be driving by, hear the music, and next thing you know you’re hanging out with a crowd that feels like you’ve known them for years.

Happy 5th anniversary to Brick & Brews and shoutout to Big Smitty for turning a random stop into a highlight of the night.

This semester I was given the opportunity to join a national honor society for graphics. Gamma Epsilon Tau. We received an assignment that was a 24 hour challenge. Spring through you lens. My submission was finding the beauty in the unlikeliest of places.

Spring through my lens on campus is equating to the beauty you can find within the darkest of places. Life is funny how when things seem murky and unsure, there is always things taking root. While it may seem as though you have lost a spark progress is taking hold in the shadows.
Don't wither for someone else. Nurture yourself and the universe will look after you.
