Welcome to my website. I am a photographic artist who takes great joy and pride in presenting my clients with finished works of art that not only reflect the spirit and individuality of those photographed, but are ones that will be treasured for a lifetime. I operate a boutique-style business in which quality images and outstanding service are the ultimate goals. After an initial consultation in which the client's needs and desires are discussed, and the session location is determined, I then give great care and consideration to planning, and preparing for, the session. As a result of this preparation, the client and I are then free to approach the actual photo session in a lighthearted and spontaneous manner that allows creativity to flourish as we work with the luminous and ever-changing light.
As a commissioned photographic artist, I prefer to photograph clients in settings that are natural and meaningful to them - whether it is in their homes, on their property, or in other special locations. However, I do maintain a small studio for those who desire quality photographs but do not have need of fully customized sessions.
After years of working at jobs that did little to feed my soul, I truly understand how blessed I am to now be able to earn my living doing work that I love. Whether it be photographing the simply beautiful moments that comprise a lifetime, or one of the joyous celebrations that punctuates a life, I would be honored to be your chosen photographer. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of service.
I am eternally grateful to all those who have accompanied me on the journey thus far and wish to acknowledge many of them here:

Respect for all living creatures
