 Photography has been my love, my passion since I was 14 years old. I fell in love with the art of photography before I even owned my first camera, a mint green Official Girl Scout Camera. What made it official? Who knows? But I loved it just the same because it made pictures--tiny little perfect black-and-white pictures. The years went by, and I came to own many cameras--some sweet and simple, others costly and complex. And here's what I discovered to be true: It's not your camera that makes wonderful photos, and it's not what you see. It's how  you see it.

​

Whether I'm surrounded by the vastness of nature, on a busy city street or in my own backyard, my intention whenever I pick up my camera is to see the wonder in all that surrounds me--the extraordinary in the ordinary; the beauty in the bland; the magic in the mundane. And when I'm capturing a portrait for someone, my objective is not to just make them look good, but it's also to make them feel incredibly special. Because they are.

​

Regardless of what I'm focusing on, photography for me is absolutely magical. And my wish, quite simply, is to sprinkle a little magic in this world with every photo I create.
