Photography for me is a passion that continues to grow. I am happy when I have my camera and I can see the beauty in the people who put their trust in me.
I love the feeling I get when I capture a natural smile, or a spontaneous moment. All of life's milestones deserve to be preserved for future generations; my hope is that I will have the skill and opportunity to capture those moments. One click at a time.
Carly picked a great location for her senior portraits, we went to Sara Lee Vineyard. I have been wanting for years to shoot there and it did not disappoint. I LOVE the gardens and they were a perfect backdrop for the lovely Carly to shine.

Andrew and Becky had made all the plans for their wedding day they even planted the grass at the ceremony and reception site... deep into the woods under a canopy of beautiful walnut trees. All of these well made plans were executed perfectly, except mother nature decided we needed some rain that day. I was so impressed with Becky and Andrew, they did not let a little rain ruin their day. They carried on and rolled with the day. It was beautiful to see that these two knew the most important part of a wedding day was the marriage not the wedding. Congratulations Andrew and Becky, I hope you love your images.

I thought Dylan had cool eyes - I have always felt that the eyes are the most important part of my images. Dylan was much more than a handsome face; he was fun and outgoing and I had a fun time photographing him.
