Every moment is a gift. But some moments are so momentous that they deserve to be cherished for generations to come. I photograph the passion, the spirit, the energy, the emotion of that special day, that special gift, that special feeling that deserves to last for all eternity. I take care of the photography so that you can walk off into the sunset worry-free.
People tell me that I have a gift for photographing people and for capturing emotions. For more than ten years, I’ved worked in the world of humanitarian assistance and international development for non-profits in Africa and Asia. I only began to work professionally as a photographer in 2007, but since then, my photography has been recognized and/or published by Photo District News, Shutterbug Magazine, EOS Magazine, Traveller Magazine, the Global Health Council, Population Services International, Gorta, the Society for Family Health, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and the Photographic Society of America. Since my first exhibit of a single photograph in the fall of 2007, I have been juried into or invited to exhibit in numerous fine art exhibits at Parish Gallery Georgetown, the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s Art Anonymous, Gallery Serengeti, Barry Gallery, the Metropolitan Center of the Visual Arts (VisArts), the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado, and Embracing Our Differences® in Florida, as well as my first solo show in mid-2009 at the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center. Named a “Selected Artist” in the 2008 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition sponsored by Agora Gallery New York, I also received a $3,500 Creative Projects Grant from the Montgomery County Arts & Humanities Council for travel photography.
