Where it comes from…

It was the images in National Geographic that first drew me to photography…

The magic of developer in a darkroom that enchanted me with the process…

The frames of Eugene Richards and Joachim Ladefoged that drew me to tears…

The work of  my father who taught me about light…

The pages of love stories that brought me to weddings…

The friendship of my girls who keep me smiling after a long day of shooting…

The never-ending hunger of my mentor, Laurie who pushes me forward…

The memory of my mom that brings me some peace…

The journey with Antho that connects me to my subjects own lives…

The laughter with Becker that lightens the workflow…

The commitment of Stephanie Sinclair that compels me to be purposeful…

The interest of family that reminds me I always have a fan…
