Photographs have always encouraged me to see more, to do more, to capture those moments that we all treasure. With my first camera at the age of 12, I would photograph the landscape that had meaning in my life; places I’ve been, things I saw… After the birth of my first child, I turned my casual photography into something more powerful; capturing my daughter as she grew.  Limited with just a camera and natural light, I reached a limit of what I could create. I purchased some studio lights, a few backdrops, and now I have control of the light, to create beautiful portraits.
