Photography has been a lifelong companion since I first picked up a camera at age 11. Over the years, it has taken on many roles in my life: a hobby, a fulfilling career in portrait photography, a tool for mindfulness and prayer, a creative outlet, and even a means to inspire and coach others. Although my career focus has shifted to the preservation of historic photographs, stories, and places, I actively pursue nature photography as a source of inspiration for my creative outlet. The power of photography truly knows no bounds, and I’m continually amazed by its ability to connect, preserve, and transform.
