a girl and her camera

my photography has been an outward manifestation of an inward journey. the journey to be seen fresh and anew as the rising sun of each day. glowing in brilliance, with the past behind me, and the excitement of a future unknown. we all long to be seen through the lens of another that won’t judge us, but accept us for the vision and beauty that we possess, right here, right now. with every image, we carry the power to make the ordinary extraordinary, and breathe new life into that which otherwise may be overlooked.


i thank God for the unique opportunity to change the world around me by showing you the world that i see. my vision is an instrument of change, memorializing the precious details in life for all times. just like every image has angles that abound, each different from the rest, so too do people have many sides to them, unique in their own right. may all of our eyes be open enough to also see their beauty.

COCAcabana 2009!!!!

If you missed COCAcabana 2009, you missed a great party!! From the COCA's website "Guests [were] transported back to the ego-driven world of 1960s New York - the sexy, stylized and provocative era of Madison Avenue advertising; a time when the age of Camelot was in full swing, the Rat Pack was having ultimate cocktail parties and everyone 'just met a girl named Maria.' The event [was] themed after the multi-award winning television series Mad Men," and the special guest star from the show, Jon Hamm, made this SOLD OUT event one to remember!

To enjoy and purchase images from the event click on the link below:
It's rare the photographer gets to be in the photo, but couldn't resist this opportunity!

Event Co-Chairs: Patti & Tim Hand, Arlene Maminta Browne & Stanley Browne, David Schmid, Cary Schneithorst Wolfner
