I love the outdoors, art, animals, beauty, storms, bees, the seasons (but mostly summer!), traveling, speaking different languages (German, Spanish, French), reading a book (not kindle, but a real book), sailing, swimming, surfing, climbing mountains...oh my gosh I could go on and on...But there is one thing that ties all these and many more loves together and that is my love of the photograph, the moment captured, through the lens of a camera, that one moment that can be enjoyed over and over.

I come to the art of photography then with a firm foothold in the world of contrasts: light and dark, form and line. Human experience: joys, sadness, candid and expected. As a painter I have learned patience in making a picture, in photography, it is instant gratification, and that truly excites me as an artist.

You can expect to see me smiling when you smile on your wedding day, shedding a tear during a special moment, and getting right on that dance floor to get in on the action. I truly enjoy my work, and I feel I am one of the lucky ones to call this "work"....as it brings me so much joy to be doing something I love.
