Hello there! Thanks for visiting my world online. I am a lifestyle photographer based in the Salmon Arm area. Photography has been a big part of my life right from childhood; I have lived a good part of my life through the lens of a camera.

There is no simple answer to why I love photography. What can be captured in a picture goes well beyond what could ever be captured with words. While aiming through the viewfinder and searching for the perfect angle, the perfect flicker of light, and the perfect smile, grimace, scream, or lock of hair, there is a sense of calmness and peace that comes over me. I see beauty in every thing that I see. I love texture, pattern, colour, lines and expression just to name a few!

The best types of photographs are those that come unrehearsed, unscheduled, and without prompting. From rare moments of humanity to everyday encounters with the wild, everything can be captured forever by photography. Things that would otherwise go unnoticed get drawn into the light and focused on until they are viewed and admired around the world.

What would otherwise happen in one moment and be gone the next is forever captured and held tight by photography! What better thing in the world is there to love?

I believe that people who love photography have a certain passion and curiosity for life. They are not content to let the smallest, most mundane things that occur in the world go unnoticed. They are excited at the mere thought of discovering the unknown and getting up close and personal with every aspect of this world.

Every now and then I will take a picture that stops me cold. These pictures tend to be raw, un-posed and snapped at random moments when the subjects and myself least expect anything profound to be revealed. I love to look back, even months later, at pictures and re-live those moments and feelings. You know how you hear an old song on the radio, and it takes you back in time to a great memory, or a sad moment in your life?

Right there in those moments; that is why I love photography!
