My love of photography began at a young age when I received my first camera. I took pictures of everything! I developed my talent in high school when I received my first 35mm camera from my dad. I took it on a two week trip to New England and fell in love with the excitement of acheiving a 'perfect picture'. In my senior year of high school, I took two photography courses and learned the art of developing my own photographs. I was lucky enough to have some of my pictures published in the high school paper and yearbook.
Creating a photograph in a dark room excited me so much, that I took more classes in college and was hired as the PR photographer for the college my freshman year. Hundreds of my pictures were used in the college's course description book, adverstisements and PR releases to local news.
My love of photography continues today. I have sold my artistic photographs at a local store and in 2007 started my photography business. I've done a little bit of everything; family, event, sports, newborn, maternity, and product photography. But wedding photography has become my specialty.
The fine art photography posted here is a joy for me. These are the photographs that I take because I love the shot. Not because someone paid me to take it. Each of these photographs speak to me on a nonverbal level. They are a piece of me. I hope you enjoy viewing my photographs as much as I enjoy creating them.
