I am a natural light photographer living in Phoenix, Arizona.
My photography journey began for me as a hobby, and turned into something far more. The ability to capture life’s precious moments is a gift that nourishes my soul.
When I am behind the camera, I see the world in a different way. Colors are brighter, shadows are deeper. Light takes on a different quality, and the world looks just a little more magical. When I am taking pictures time moves slowly, and sometimes stands still. In the process of clicking the shutter I watch life become art, and art come to life.
I strive to capture real moments, real emotion, real life. I love moments of high energy, and I love moments of peaceful stillness. I love juice stained faces, dirty feet and jeans ripped at the knee. I love messy braids and mischievous grins. I love kids being kids.
My photography is about capturing your child spinning in circles till she falls to the ground. It’s catching your son sitting quietly engrossed in a picture book. It’s those first days of life when your baby is so fresh and new. It’s about gleeful laughter and fits of giggles and tantrums and tears. It’s about the light that gleams in her eyes when she’s thinking of something funny, and about the way he sticks out his tongue in concentration when he’s working on building the highest tower. It’s about the love that flows between you all.
Each and every time I click the shutter, my aim is to capture the essence of the child in front of me and to freeze that moment in time. When you look at my pictures, I want you to feel as if you know the person looking back at you. I also want my photos to tell you just enough of their story that you want to know more…
