my philosophy

I can’t imagine doing anything else…

I feel naked without my camera.

I am fascinated by relationships. I’m curious as to why/how relationships evolve. Sitting on a park bench, laying on the beach…I wonder as the people walk by.

I think a great portrait can find the essence of someone.

Sometimes I feel I’m just a mirror…

at some point during a portrait session, people seem to forget that I’m there, that is when they let go and let me in…beautiful private moments to be cherished forever.

Photography has created in me an awareness of the simple things, the afternoon sun causing droplets to glitter, the shape of clouds (they are never the same twice), the color of a sunrise, the knowing glimpse amongst siblings.
