Photography Bio:

I started learning photography before I was a teenager, spending hours in a darkroom developing film.  Over the years, I have photographed events, weddings, and family portraits. My passion is nature and wildlife, and I’ve enjoyed incorporating models into my work.  I am continually expanding my portfolio by shooting new genres or themes to challenge myself.

I try to make a connection with a subject or evoke emotion with my photography and wrestle with every image.  I have become fascinated with photographing birds after numerous sightings of Bald Eagles, Hawks, and Hummingbirds for years now. I consider myself incredibly fortunate when sighting raptors, primarily Bald Eagles. I am a Rhode Island native and enjoy exploring all the beautiful sights it has to offer. I am always on the lookout for a new picture and the story behind it.
