From an early age I have always had a love for photography. I can remember my first camera as a child was nothing more than a small plastic box with a tiny square frame one would flip up to use as a viewfinder. I took it everywhere and couldn’t wait for the 110mm film to finally be developed. From there I moved on to developing 35mm black and white film by hand in a class in junior high, and to this day, I still remember some of the early lessons I learned there. My passion for photography lies in the challenge of capturing the emotions of life's moments. To me, a photograph is the only true way we can stop time and capture not just an image but an experience…a feeling…a memory. They help serve as our keys to unlock the past. Whether it’s a wedding day, a newborn child, or the beauty of youth, they allow us to one day relive the moments that were stored deep in our minds. It’s these memories that I want to present to you in every image I produce. The photographs you’ll glance at and pause then be taken back in time.
