A little about me...

I was born and raised in the Maryland area. My fascination with photography began when I was a small child. My grandparents had a vast array of old black and white family photographs that lined the walls in every corner of their house and were categorized in countless albums. My grandmother was always flipping through photographs and studying family history trying to trace our family heritage. Continuing the process of recording history, at 14 years of age, I picked up my father's Yashica 35mm camera and became captivated by the creative process of photography.

Continuing my education I began taking photography courses at Montgomery College. Each class allowed me to establish my creative control over this medium and taught me the intricacies of this craft. I further pursued by passion receiving a BFA in Fine Art Photography at the Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington D.C. This has given me the technical background to express my creative photographic skills and specialize in family, children, and newborn portraiture.

My focus as a photographer is my desire to capture the beauty I see in the world and to communicate that beauty through the photographic image. My personal goal is to find gracefulness in all that I photograph. The strength in my photography is using it to identify my love for life as I photograph people, places & forms and finding the relationships that bind them together.
