"The best things in life" 10" x 15", digital photography
Taken in Lambertville, New Jersey, I saw the quote and knew that there was a story there.

"Nugget" 12" x 8" digital photography

The longing to explore and play and chase after your dreams - or a squirrel. What I love about this image is that is displays the raw nature of puppies, wanting to explore and play, and what we should encourage in all of use, play and imagination.

Artist Statement: I like photography that has meaning. When I plan a photo series I want to display a cause or story. This is why I'm drawing to engagement photography and photographing real life events. I want to tell stories through the lens of my camera. Every person in the world has a story, and I want to help capture the moments that make that story what it is - special to every individual. If I can give someone that gift, of letting them have forever memories then I've done my job. More creatively I love digital photography that mirrors film work. Trying to capture the graininess, the light leaks, and double exposure in digital photography, without editing, is something I strive for.
