I am an artist and my medium is film. Digital these days. People are my passion. If I could paint portraits of people....I would. Like my favorite painter, Renoir. I love how he could paint people doing ordinary things and make it look so beautiful. But it's more than creating an image that's beautiful. The people in the photo and the moment they are in...the experience. That's what I want to see in my work.


Photographing people is an incredible adventure. Genuinely I like to meet people and learn about them. To connect with them. Although I consider myself outgoing I'm really not a big fan of crowds, or parties, and usually get nervous in social gatherings. One on one is more my cup of tea. But when I'm behind the lens, I am fearless-Crowds don't bother me a bit.  Being right in the middle of a genuine moment with someone is amazing- to be able to capture it is indescribable.


This is why I come alive the minute I pick up my camera. A surge of energy comes over me. My mind floods with ideas and the need to create them and capture. You always hear- pictures are tangible memories. Moments captured that we can revisit whenever we look at them. Therefore the experience during my sessions are far more important to me than the final images.

 

Over the past 6 years I've worked with dozens of businesses, hundreds of families, thousands of children, and a whole community of people I truly adore. There isn't a single person I have worked with that I haven't thought of or prayed for. Every soul, every session, every image has added to my growth as a photographer, a mother, and a friend.
