I really got serious about photography when I bought my first digital point and shoot (a Canon SD200). The world of digital really opened my eyes to what was possible with photography. I had this little camera that fit in my pocket that I could take with me anywhere. Compared to film, I could take a seemingly unlimited number of photos of anything that I wanted. This meant lots of photos of friends and flowers.

Eventually I bought my first DSLR (a Nikon D40) and that’s when I got GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). So many lenses and accessories! I must have them all!

Suddenly my D40 wasn’t good enough and I just had to upgrade to the D850 and during that time it was one of the costliest. New lenses, flashes, bags, filters and software all became "must have" items. With all of this new gear, I branched out from flowers and mountains and started photographing people.

I remember how much fun I had working with people, capturing moments and emotions, seeing the look on their faces when they saw their own portrait and actually liked what they saw. These positive experiences were so much more satisfying to me than photographing nature, I knew that my future in photography would mostly involve people. To a large extent, this is still one of the things that I most love about photography... working with people and capturing moments and emotions so that they will not be forgotten.

What started out as a hobby now I started earning with it as well . That small camera that fit in my pocket expanded into a storage room full of backdrops, lighting equipment and rarely used gear.

I enjoy photography because it has given me the opportunity to share in people’s most special moments on a regular basis.

I enjoy photography because it has introduced me to many people who I now call friends.

I enjoy photography because it has allowed me to capture moments in my own life that I don’t want to forget.
