My style is a bit difficult to define, mainly because I haven't fully discovered it yet myself. I am a bit contemporary, a bit photo journalistic, definitely candid and sometimes classical. I prefer to capture life as it happens rather than posing or having my subject say "cheese".
Photography for me was a natural progression. After my Partner and I adopted our son I became an avid scrapbooker. Since scrapbooking requires many photographs, I found myself constantly with camera in hand shooting away, often to the cries of "enough" from my son. I found myself wanting to take better photographs and often needing photos of other subjects, I would borrow kids of friends and family to "model" for me. Once folks began to ask me to photograph them or their kids I began to think (with a little pushing by my Partner) that I could possibly take the next step, Life Portraiture was born.
