I try not limiting myself to any particular sort of photo. Most of my photos are taken with available light simply because I have not yet taken the plunge to studio work. One of these days I might make that committment, but for now I enjoy nature photography and available light portraiture. Fall is my favorite time of year and I probably take more photos in the fall than all three of the remaining seasons. I like for my photos to suggest a theme or tell a story.
Beauty is all around us, from majestic mountains ranges and pristine coastlines to the wonder you can find in your own backyard. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to "capture" that beauty and share it with my family and friends.
