Photography draws us to relive some of the glimpses into the eternality we long for, the imago dei in each of us - the toes of a newborn child; the glow on the face of an expectant mom; that look on the groom's face the moment he sees his "about-to-be" bride walking down the aisle; the veiled smile of the bride as she waits for him as well - and the fleeting joy in the world around us - fading colors of sunset or sunrise; the beauty of the seasons - purple, yellow, pink, hazel; the hands and feet of those in need and those who offer assistance; sadness, joy, happiness, and the life that is so very worth living.
I photograph because it's one of the places where my deepest joy meets some of the world's deepest needs. We all need to connect - to each other and to the world around us. We need to enjoy Life. We need to laugh and cry and find that our memories are there for us to treasure.
Capturing people enjoying life amazes me.
Capturing life amazing people brings me joy - much like it does each of us.
Capturing joy amazing people - now that's something to remember.
I remain available to travel globally, although the Southeastern U.S. is where I find myself most frequently. If you are interested in working with me to capture some of the timeless moments in your lives and those of the ones you love, please e-mail me or give me a call to discuss your creative ideas and set up a shoot.
