Clients often express that I have a calming presence while working with them. I can chalk it up to experience and the fact that I know that an authentic connection helps create more meaningful images. Like all things, this took practice. Photographing people, places and animals has become a flow state for me. Photography is part of who I am. I am grateful every day to have a creative outlet that fills my life with so much good and that I can pass this work on to families that will treasure it for a lifetime, often longer.
