ABOUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY:
My goal is to capture children as they are in everyday life–smiling and happy, contemplative, frustrated–because they are babies, toddlers, and kids for so short a time, and as parents, we don’t want to forget anything!

I shoot in the “photojournalistic style: very few, if any, posed shots, but many images showing the different sides of your child’s personality, from facial expressions to movement. I take pictures almost exclusively in natural light, at a location of your choosing* (preferably your own backyard or home, or a park where your child or children already feels comfortable).

ABOUT ME:
With the birth of my son, I found myself increasingly dissatisfied with the pictures I could take with my “point-and-shoot” camera–and so began my journey to learn more about photography. What started as a way to better capture all expressions and movements of my own child quickly spread to doing the same for his little baby and toddler friends, and to more formal studies of the art of photography

I have studied (and continue to study) at the Washington School of Photography, the New York Institute of Photography, the Washington Photo Safari, and online at BetterPhoto.com.
