From the moment I picked up my first DSLR, I began using it purely to create and express. I didn't know what to call it at the time, but looking back, I've always been a fine art photographer. My subject matter has evolved from self portraiture, creating still life images with the things I could find around my home to finally, venturing outside and finding my ultimate area of interest.

What truly fills me is being out in the world. I gravitate to quiet, peaceful places filled with natural beauty. My passion lies in creating fine art photographs of nature in all its magnificence; landscapes, trees, wildlife, portraits of people just simply being. It is in this realm of photography where I begin to levitate in a way. I begin to vibrate on some higher level of being where I could be doing what I'm doing in that moment forever and be wholly satisfied. I'm not thinking, I'm just driven in a very deep, focused and totally exhilarating way.

I strive to capture whatever moves me deeply about the environment I find myself in. If I can capture my feelings towards something in a beautiful way, my hope is that it will make others feel and subsequently inspire them to cherish, nurture and create their own moments of natural beauty.
