"A photo tells a story and captures a moment in time. The art I create is something I see in the moment and some never see until they meet me and I share these pieces with them! Abandoned places call to me and I enjoy (carefully) exploring these spaces to find unique lighting or items to share with others in an artistic way! I also enjoy creating whimsical pieces that invoke emotions and bring joy to people who have them hanging in their homes! I love capturing these moments; I love what I do. My love for photography has been with me since I was a child. My Grandpa was an amateur photographer and my mother had some of his amazing photos throughout the house; a true inspiration growing up. My passion is now documenting memories; keeping these precious moments in time alive in a format worth printing, framing and sharing."
