Where I’ve been
Whether I’ve been traveling, wandering my neighborhood or working on portraits, I’m jazzed by the visual stories I have the opportunity to encounter and love sharing what I’ve noticed with you.
Visual Stories
Some images become favorites. Maybe it’s the color, the emotional response, the memory of the day I captured the photo. Sometimes I know what makes the image special, other times it doesn’t matter. This is a space for me to get personal and provide a glimpse into my creative mind and how I see.

Flowers that Command Attention
I almost passed by this fascinating wild flower. But when I looked closely, I was fascinated. I had to squat and found the angle a bit awkward which made me appreciate my yoga practice!
Train Trip
My husband and I traveled from California to Denver via train in 2018. We had a sleeper car and one of my favorite things to do was see what travelers did before or after boarding, perhaps greeting others.
Props in Photo Shoots
