About Me
My Journey through the lens
Born and raised in Johnstown, PA, my photography journey began at a small camera shop in
Washington, DC. It was there I purchased my first camera, a NIkon D70, and I had caught the
bug. But the pure magic for me was the hikes and getting lost in the grand landscapes. The
beautiful colors and textures that I saw through my lens and the image in my mind of how the
print should look was one thing, but getting that on camera was a different story. It was during
this time that my personal life was changing. Many moves with the family had us settled in
Littleton, Co. where I met so many wonderful photographers who offered their help. I was
starting to see the results in my photos that I always had in my mind. Many cameras later, a
move back to my hometown, again, and thousands of youtube videos, I could really see my
vision coming to life. Everything feels full circle now. As I am still learning new things, I love
sharing my knowledge with other photographers, hopefully helping someone else catch the bug.
But in the end, It’s always been about the journey, getting lost through the lens from sunrise to
sunset, trying to capture that perfect shot, that brings me and others so much joy.
I have been blessed to have many of my photos published in newspapers, magazines, accepted
in art shows and have been fortunate to have my work receive awards along the way. But in the
end I just love sharing my vision with so many friends and family, and with so many wonderful
people from all across the country that I have met.
