About me: we build our own realities…and i follow the footprints that trail through my head. i’m a full-time photographer constantly exploring the limitlessness of creativity. inside i feel flutters of passion that launch me into each moment of life with all of my sense heightened. they constantly cross paths and i find myself drinking words, breathing light, tasting energy, feeling colors…i love the feeling orange!
creating imagery through the study of light is truly an amazing world to be in. most of the time the rest of the world doesn't exist for me. i live in a bubble filled with ideas, visions, colors, lines, shapes, textures, expressions, and abstractions. i feel like a kitten most of the time, dancing about trying to catch these silly thoughts as they flutter past...trying to capture my world in photographs to make it more tangible to everyone around me. hoping to connect, or at least create the potential for a connection in the future.
i am not afraid to love fully. i am not afraid to let go. i am not afraid to feel, both good and bad. i am not afraid to always be myself. i am not afraid to be honest. i am not afraid to be wrong. i am not afraid to be judged. i am not afraid to dance. i am not afraid to be silent. i am not afraid to cry. i am not afraid to scream. i am not afraid to be alone. i am inspired. i am inspiring. i am beautiful. i am a talker. i am a listener. i am a creative. i am a thinker. i believe in myself. i believe in my dreams. i am never better or worse than anyone i meet...i am simply unique. i am only as much or as good as i give myself credit for. i have many flaws, but i am perfect just the way i am, with all my strengths and weaknesses. i feel life.
im a full-time commercial photographer always working on many things but one particular project that i believe to be brilliant! i will keep everyone posted on the progress. but for now, i will say, our first shoot was a HUGE success! exciting things to come this marvelous year: 2008.
as a commercial photographer, i am continually seeking out new projects to be involved with through which i can express myself. i love making that initial connection with my subject whether it be through headshots, product, still life & table top, editorial, music, food & beverage, landscape, nudes.
Hey there. Thanks for the add. I'm looking forward to viewing your work and profile in more detail soon. I hope you can find the time to do the same to mine. Come check out my photo blogs and photo albums when you can. Leave me a few photo comments so I'll know you were here.
hey girl! It was so good to see you the other night! Sorry we just kind of stormed in and out after the show - you should have been there. =) Lots of beer + pool + blues = good times. Drop me a line anytime you have a night off and let's try to get together again soon!
