I have had a life-long love affair with photography.  As a child I spent hours paging through Life and National Geographic magazines and books as well as old family photo albums.  My photo and film enthusiast parents gave me my first camera when I was about eleven years old. My photography back then focused primarily on family holidays, vacations and special events.  When the photography world went digital, my passion turned to obsession.  My favorite captures are those of candid, everyday moments that make you smile; of extraordinary beauty  found  in ordinary things; of images seen from a different point of view. 

 

I primarily shoot in natural light. I love all of the many photography genres; however, my favorite shots typically feature people. I am also skilled at designing and creating photo books which document travel, events, milestones and/or family history.
