I first picked up a film camera in high school in the mid 1990’s and loved learning about black and white film and the darkroom. All my spare time was spent taking photos and developing prints.

Of course, cameras have changed a lot since then, but I’ve never stopped learning and rarely put my camera down.

Despite wanting to “travel around the world taking photos” I realized that most of my favourite images are those of my own kids, usually taken in my hometown, because they have special memories attached.

The most prized photographs are created with intention because photography has the power to freeze moments in time.
From the moment I first stepped into a darkroom at school, I’ve loved the art of photography. Being able to create something beautiful out of what I see in the world around me is like a dream come true.

My purpose with my work:

• To bring out the beauty in all living things
• To create experiences worth remembering
• To bring an appreciation of nature to younger generations
• To capture the little things in life that might otherwise go unnoticed

My Specialties: Children and Nature!

I love nature photography because I am an environmentalist at heart and I love being in nature! Through photos, I want to share this appreciation of our natural world around us. I believe we can share our own unique corners of the earth and increase the respect for our planet and our differences through understanding how each other lives.

I love photographing children because they are so curious and grow up so quickly. It is important to me to capture these precious years before they are gone.
