“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ~ Ansel Adams



I was born in Wichita, Kansas. Raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Moved to Gulfport, Mississippi in 1998. I absolutely fell in love with the beauty of the Gulf Coast. I got my first camera in 2008 and have been shooting the beauty the coast ever since. What started as a hobby, has grown into a passion. I look for beauty everywhere I go. Nature tells it's own story, and sometimes the rewards for respecting it are great.
