| BIO |
| I have been a photographer in the artistic sense for most of my life. I am in business as a family/child photographer under the name Dandelion Dreams Photography. I can sum up my passion for photography in this way: I am a light seeker...I admire the way a shadow wraps gently around a child's face or how sunlight halos a young girl's head. I love catching that 1/60th of a second glimpse into my lens as a baby wonders--just what is that big contraption I am holding. I strive to capture the real essence of my subject as opposed to a contrived shot…to catch a real moment in life, to document. My biggest inspiration is my family: inquisition, wonder, attention to the small things, unabashed enthusiasm, creativity, love. I think that a lot can be told in a photograph about the relationship of the family, the emotion of the individual, and I love to tell that story through the snap of the shutter. These are days to remember. My gift to the family is creating a keepsake of their moment together. |
