I specialize in photographing Lovers, Creative Portraiture, 

and Behind-The-Scenes Photography.

 

By nature I am a quiet person, an observer. If I had three wishes I might use one of those wishes to make myself invisible at my choosing to aid in my observation habits. Humans are fascinating creatures and therefore they are my favorite subject to photograph and study, whether that's through people watching at a lively bar or using my camera to capture the essence of someone's beautiful, individual aliveness. When I am behind my camera I am looking for the in-between moments, the instant when vulnerability shines in the eyes, the subtle gestures and reactions that are representative of each distinct individual.

 

Movement, softness, music, self expression, and natural light guide my work.
