I could say that I choose photography because I love to capture special moments...the affection between a mother and her child...a father holding his baby for the first time...or because I love the challenge of producing a high quality image...(and while these are all very true)...there is a deeper reason...Photography has made a very deep and profound impact on my life...as a child the only connection I had to my mother was through a few images that I have of her...I lost her at a very young age...and have no memories of her...I learned about her through these images, what her smile looked like....what her expressions were...(and which ones we share)...I heard everyone tell me how much she loved me...but it was through these very precious pictures that I understood just how much she loved me...because you see there is something that you can see in a picture....the look in a Mother's eyes...that just can't be told, but can  be seen...So this is the true reason that I choose photography...

It is my greatest hope that my images will tell your story too.
