About Me

I seek to explore images of beauty and relevance in our everyday culture, celebrating our little holidays in a big way by capturing them. Our everyday holidays consist of childrens' birthday parties and ordinary Thursdays at a park with friends. I compose and capture the images in ways that reveal the intensity of the moments and the humanity of the faces that bring the everyday holidays to life.
