My interest in photography is spurred by my love of nature and the pleasure I receive from photographing both what I see and experience during photo walks.

I most often photograph macro, landscape, and portraits.

Macro because I enjoy showcasing small plants and animals that we often overlook. I like to present them in an upfront and bold way to emphasize their features and showcase their amazing beauty. They all have a function and purpose. All with amazing beauty. From the delicate feathery texture of a moth to the mesmerizing eyes of a butterfly; all art in their own right.

I measure my own personal success in a macro photography by achieving a perspective that looks as if the viewer is on a nearby leaf. The vantage point of prey. I want the viewer to be able to picture themselves at the same scale within their environment.

I enjoy photographing landscape, but it's difficult to find suitable areas to shoot without the distraction of urban sprawl rearing itself in a shot. I'll always know, through my photos, that I will be able to experience the beautiful places I have spent numerous hours exploring. A way to personally rekindle memories I hold so dear.

The fresh air, the wading birds, and the sunlight across my skin.

Photography is my passion. I hope my photography makes an impact by bringing awareness to our natural Florida wetland areas and further encourage others to explore this beautiful resource.
