About me

For as long as I can remember, my father walked around with a camera slung about his neck. Wherever we were, whatever we were doing, it had to be documented on film. I was fascinated that moments in time could be forever frozen like this. When my father let me use his camera for the first time, I was thrilled - and hooked. From that moment, photography quickly became a much-loved hobby. But then I started working full-time as a high school teacher, got married, and had two beautiful boys - and so there was little time to indulge in my passion. It wasn't until I retired in 2019 that I was able to plunge myself back into it. My beloved father recently passed away but his memory lives on through my photography. STATEMENT: Nature has always been a tremendous source of inspiration and peace for me - a warm blanket of serenity. Nowhere am I more mindful, more aware, more calm than in nature. I see the beauty in simple things: the way the light strikes a tree just before sunset, the way the snow sparkles on a bright day, the way a lone tree stands out in the mist… For me photography is about capturing these simple, serene moments. By sharing them I hope to inspire you to, not only get outside and enjoy nature, but to truly see the beauty that surrounds you each and every day.
