I love people. I love stories. Photography brings those two together and allows me to be a visual storyteller. The last decade has been spent photographing children, families and products, while still constantly learning and seeking to hone my craft. I am an active member of my local Professional Photographer's guild, the Dallas PPA. The last few years I have entered the PPA's International Print Competition and stretched my creative muscles. Earning 5 merits was just icing on the cake as I developed my skills and saw my creative visions come to life. In 2016 I earned the Certified Professional Photographer designation from the PPA. As much as I love to photograph, I also love to teach. Teaching other photographers how to expand their own creativity is a speciality. My family is my heart, and you can often find me volunteering at their schools and sporting events.
