Let me see who you are.

As a portrait photographer for the last 18 years, I have had the honor of capturing the essence of individuals through my lens. My journey has been filled with moments of beauty and inspiration, but also with challenges and heartache. However, the experiences that have truly left a mark on my soul have been those where I was able to give back to my community through my work.

Volunteering with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Women and Diversity Causes has given me the opportunity to connect with individuals from all walks of life. Through my camera lens, I have been able to capture the hope and resilience of those who have faced unimaginable adversity, and the joy of those who have been given a new start in life.

But what truly sets my work apart is the connection that I develop with the people I photograph. It is not enough to simply snap a picture - I strive to get to know the person, to understand their story and their passions, and to capture that essence in my photographs. It is through this connection that I am able to bring out the true beauty and spirit of each individual, creating a portrait that is not just a pretty picture, but a true representation of who they are.

I am continually amazed by the power of a single photograph - the way it can capture a moment in time, evoke emotion, and tell a story. As a portrait photographer, I am constantly striving to create images that are not just beautiful, but meaningful. Whether it is through my volunteer work or my professional portfolio, my goal is to capture the essence of each person I photograph, and to share their story with the world.

It is my hope that my work will inspire others to see the beauty in every person they meet, and to recognize the value of diversity and community. Through my lens, I have learned that we all have a story to tell, and that it is through sharing those stories that we can truly connect with one another.
