The way I choose to live my life is simple, by being present in everything I do. The little things are SO very big to me! Experiences like that first sip of espresso in the morning, welcoming home a new plant baby, my toes touching water for the first time after a long winter, feeling rain drops on my skin and hearing “I love you.” every night before bed. Little things like these make me feel alive and are what I believe to be the key to a happy life.

If you ask me why I became a photographer, I could lie and tell you that from the moment I picked up my first camera I knew this was what I was destined to be...but that's not true. It kinda snuck up on me! I always knew I saw the world and people a little differently but college is where I found my love for human interaction, body language and intimacy through photography. This quickly and quite easily became the focus of my art and remains the focus in my career. Capturing a photo is easy, but capturing life's little moments in a way that makes you feel it over and over again is what I am continually striving to achieve in my work.
