About The Photographer

Cropped 1rg1160 2
I practice what can be referred to as "therapeutic " photography. I got into photography May 2015 after being caught in a storm I wasn't expecting. I decided to brush off my camera and take some pictures of a barn when a thunderstorm rolled in and I was caught in a funnel cloud. The excitement and rush was just the beginning. With recent turmoil in my life, I now look at that storm as the end of that chapter and the clear skies represent hope and a new beginning. My photography is to inspire anyone, to give hope, value, and appreciation for what we have. To look for beauty everyday, wherever we are.
