Photography is everything to me!
I love to capture candid moments; little glances, laughter, special looks, and romance inspires my life and work. I prefer to work organically letting things happen and snapping away with my camera to find the right shot.

On the personal side….
I’m originally from Clinton Township, MI on the East side of the state, near Detroit. I graduated from Grand Valley State University (Go Lakers!), with two degrees. One in Advertising and Public Relations, the other in Photography. I now reside in Grand Rapids but work all over Michigan. My mom is my main source of inspiration for all things creative. She gave me my first Fujica camera, took me to the DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts), and to art school with her at Wayne State many times as a child. I grew up in an unconventional style where finger painting was encouraged and weekly trips to the local art fair were the norm.
Some favorite things (in no particular order): My canon 5DMark II, Lenses that go to an f/1.2, Photoshop, writing, designing things, coming up with new ideas, figuring out how things work, spending long hours on the computer, projects, organizing things, cooking (but not doing the dishes), long drives in the fall (pretty much anything to do with fall), kickboxing, big cities, my dog Stewie, electronic devices that do fun things, jewelry, shoes, going on trips (but not packing), watching TV online, and anything related to advertising, marketing, design or branding.
