How it all started . . .

When asked how I started in this business, I say photography found me instead of me finding photography. When I became blessed by God with my son (who is now my muse), I wanted to capture his essence . . . his soul . . . his very being. As I like to say, "To truly photograph
someone . . . is the capture the very heart and soul of that person." I couldn't find a photographer to do that for me so I began to do it myself. Through the years, I gained the experience and knowledge I needed to capture what I truly desired in my photographs. Now I offer this to you and your family. Not just photographs, but works of art that come from the heart.

My feelings on my art . . .

Have you ever heard a photograph sing to you? Sound strange? Or does it? If you are truly into photography chances are you know what I am talking about. If not, let me explain. When viewing a photograph, I want to hear a song in my head. Sometimes the song will be a sad one, a happy tune, a melancholy tune, or an inspirational and uplifting tune. No, the song doesn't usually have words to it, but it has a wonderful melody. Words are not needed. I can hear the violins and piano just play their sweet tune. I hope you hear a "song" when viewing my images. I want my images to touch your senses. I want you to "feel” the emotions in an image.

How my style plays a part in creating these works of imagination and beauty . . .

My style is casual, free, and natural. I like for the people I photograph to be themselves. (I do not pose people.) The best images come to be when the person is just being who they are naturally. Children are usually wonderful, natural posers. My favorite subjects are newborns and young children. This is the time in life when they are the most innocent, carefree, and honest.

How I create these works of art and imagination . . .

To create these works of art, I use God's light to illuminate my subjects. I find this type of lighting to be the best and most pleasing to me. I really enjoy working outdoors and will take photographs as long as weather permits. There will be times when the outdoors are not suitable, but as long as there is light that can pour through a window onto the subject(s) I will use that light when photographing.

After taking your pictures, I will process them through the digital darkroom. This is where the true magic can take place. This is where I create artworks especially for you.
