My father purchased my first "real" camera, a Canon AE-1, in 19§§. (Let's not go there!) From that point on, I've been looking at the world and all its wonders through a lens. I have wanderlust, that wonderful desire to travel and meet all different kinds of people; not in a resort touristy way, but in hanging out with locals in small towns. I've photographed some truly memorable people all over the world and I remember their stories when I look at the images of faces I captured. Photography has been the journal of my life and my travels.
Today I'm following my dream. After years in retail management, I've invested in my talent and am doing what I love. My passion and skill for capturing extraordinary moments is what I have to share with my clients in the portraits and events they retain me to compose.
