Photography has always been a passion for me since I received my first Brownie camera as a small child. My father took movies and pictures of everything when I was growing up; wanting in his way to capture each moment, special occasions, family vacations and beautiful sunsets...he is my inspiration and my biggest fan.

There was a day when nothing was more exciting to me than picking up that roll of developed film...feeling that anticipation...finally being able to see what I had captured on film. Today I work in digital only and it has given me even more freedom to photograph whatever I choose, every chance I get. I am grateful that I see my surroundings in a photograph, everywhere I look is the opportunity for an image.

I want to thank my family and friends for encouraging me over the years to pursue my dreams with my photography and for my husband’s unconditional love and support in whatever I have chosen to do. To one friend in particular, saying thank you could never be enough, you have helped me create this web site so that I may share my images for all to see.

Consider this my personal invitation to experience what I see when I look at the world around me.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any feedback or comments.
