The Story Behind the Camera
In 2011, my life changed drastically when I suffered a stroke. I had to relearn many of the things I'd always taken for granted, and find my way through everyday life.
During that time, photography became my constant, and my passion. It gave me something I could learn at my own pace, one photograph at a time. It also became a way to connect with my children as we explored together and created memories we'll always cherish.
Today, I still find peace behind my camera. Whether I'm wandering city streets or capturing life's milestones, photography gives me the chance to slow down, notice the beauty around me, and preserve moments that might otherwise be forgotten.
I understand how precious memories are. Every photograph tells a story—not just of what was seen, but of what was felt.
My hope is simple: to create images that bring peace, preserve memories, and help people hold onto the moments that matter most.
