If there were such a thing as "Photoholics Anonymous", I would probably have to join.  Even at a young age, I was fascinated with photographs of any kind.  When the time came where I could learn a camera, I did.  Starting with my fathers Graflex Graphic 35mm camera with a maximum shutter speed of 1/300 and split focus system, it became clear things were pretty complex to get the picture that your eye actually saw.  To learn the workings of a camera and the details of light was in order.

I used this camera for many years and to date, one of my most favorite photos was one of the very first I ever took (right).  I learned how to control the camera settings to get the picture I truly saw, or to modify them to get a picture that was artistically creative.  As my learning grew, I realized the limitations of the camera I was using and decided to buy my own.  I must say, the bells and whistles that came with my new Nikon N80 were a bit baffling until I understood most were only shortcuts to what I already knew!

I practically wore that camera out living in Hawaii for two years.  My picture taking and knowledge grew exponentially and my photographs were inspiring enough to have people ask me to come take pictures of special moments in their lives.  It was at this time, that I was hooked for good.  Here I could do what possessed me.  Document moments in time, with the freedom to capture the feel and atmosphere of what is special in peoples lives. 

With the changing of time and technology, it became obvious I needed to switch to using a digital camera if I wanted to make a living with my photos.  I made that leap in 2005 and have never looked back.

In addition, my lifetime has thus been filled with the diverse aspect of horses.  I have worked with many breeds, been a part of many styles of riding and competition, and have had many horses that captured a special place in my heart.  My biggest pleasure is to find a way for my camera to show the beauty of the horse and the relationships so many have with them.  For centuries people have written how unique this relationship is, and I agree.

Because of these experiences, I have focused my business towards equine photography.  However, to keep my talents and perspective fresh, I do other select photo venues as well. 

My education and abilities have been focused on taking a great picture in its raw form.  I am capable with photo editing softwares, and enjoy the creative things they can do, but my first interest is in taking a great photograph.  Continued learning as technology changes, and gaining experience in creating the photographs I enjoy, is my goal. 

Nothing pleases me more than to apply my ability of taking photographs so my clients have that perfect photo they can enjoy for a lifetime.  I hope you will contact me, so I may do the same for you.
