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.

Summer in St. Louis

To say that I'm far behind in posting would be an understatement unless one believes 4 to 5 months is no big deal (smile). But, nonetheless, I have certainly been shooting, a lot, amongst a host of other things, and am finally stationary long enough to update!!!

Where to begin?? Well, we'll start with the summer and make this my summer update. This was certainly the summer for family portraits, which was really fun - and I was able to travel to various parts of St. Louis like Forest Park and St. Peters Rec Plex, and some which were new to me like various parts of St. Louis University's campus and South City, to capture these family moments.

The best part about family portraits is really the kids - you have absolutely no idea what will intrigue them in the setting you are in, and that really makes for a fun time. Will they be intrigued by a branch, a rock, a stick . . . your camera . . . (yikes!) Or will I once again be "forced" to act like a complete goof to get that million dollar smile and laugh, all the while trying not to laugh myself and actually do my job which is capture that moment.

Enjoy the pictures!!!!
