I have been photographing life for several years now and find each project comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. It is a real pleasure to catch those special moments in life where the spontaneous intersects with us and we see that which makes life precious. It is my hope to catch the precious moments in life so that they can be enjoyed continually. Largely self taught, I enjoy many different areas of photography from landscapes and nature to abstract and high dynamic range photography. Portraits are an exciting challenge as the capturing of the personality takes front and center. I love photographing babies and children because of the newness of life that they embody and playfulness that the subjects bring. Photographing children reminds me to not take myself so seriously and remember to have fun and enjoy each moment.
