I strive to make my pictures personal. My favorite part of taking pictures is when it feels like we are long lost friends, who just never got a chance to meet. Understand...? That's really what it is all about. I love when we can laugh and talk and shoot, and it's like the camera isn't there. I love making kids laugh, but equally I love making grown ups laugh. Awkward is just not a good look on anyone. I consider it a high compliment when people walk away and say "That was a fun day."

I didn't start out shooting people...ahem...or what I mean to say is...I started taking pictures in college. I studied journalism and photography which gave me the unique perspective of two very different worlds, one part portraiture, and one part photojournalism. I swirled around in the world of advertising for awhile, looking for the creative outlet I craved. Until finally one day it just hit me, I needed to hold my camera everyday.

So if you've had a good look around and you are ready to check out the blog. I encourage you to do so. You can have yourself an even larger dose of my personality and style. It's a great way for you to get to know me, and see if you are ready for me to get to know you!
