I’ve always been a keeper of memories; mementos from old friends, letters written long ago, pictures of simple yet always significant days - it all matters to me. That’s what draws my heart so close to photography. I have always felt this need to preserve time and to hold onto things that can take me back to a place and time that has long since past. When I’m not behind a camera, you will likely find me behind a paint brush working on antique furniture. Where others might see junk, I see something that has lived and with just a little love can have a second life. These elements show through my photography with my love for capturing raw, authentic moments that will serve as a time capsule and transport you back to another day and time.
