Photography has always been important to me. I can attribute my love of photography to my Dad, who I watched taking photos while growing up. I was intrigued by the process of releasing the shutter and having a scene translated to a photograph. Each time I pick up my camera, there is always something new to capture.
I feel that it is important to capture events in our lives, whether it is a wedding, the addition of a new family member, or the growth of a child. Having photos to document events will enrich memories later on, making them more vivid and bringing the details back to mind. I view photography not only as a documentary tool, but also as an artistic medium. Not only does photography tell a story, it is also a form of beauty.
I hope I can play a part in retelling your stories for years to come. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I would love to hear from you!
