I was 14 when I bought my first camera. I took it everywhere, and I photographed everything: people, bugs, food, animals, furniture, sunsets, places and plants. My first photography booking was to photograph a bead and use that photo to design a business card.

My photographic mission is to provide you with photos that we can both be proud of.

I prefer to spend my time behind the camera rather than in front of the computer, touching up photos. I use a small, quiet, unobtrusive camera that allows me to blend in to the background. I prefer to use existing light rather than introduced light. I like to be present and a part of what I am photographing. In my desire to capture the moment I don’t want to detract from from the moment itself.
