I enjoy working within many different areas of photography, from portrait photography to landscape and wildlife photography. I really enjoy traveling to different locations, especially Americas West and South West, but can more often be found shooting within my home state of Missouri. I feel fortunate to live in such a diverse state. From the few Cypress swamps in the South East, to the Ozarks and St. Francois Mountain areas close to my home, through the rich farmland to the North, Missouri abounds with photographic opportunties.

I am a university graduate with a Master's of Counseling Degree. I originally got into photography, by purchasing a decent camera to take reference photos for painting but have found myself painting less lately and exploring photography as it's own art form. I'm an avid gardener and get much enjoyment out of both growing and photographing flowers and find both pursuits a peaceful way to relax and reflect. Besides nature and landscape photography, I enjoy photographing people both in candid and formal situations. Having been a member of BetterPhoto for the last few years now, I can truly say that I draw inspiration daily from the plethora of extremely talanted photographers who are members of this site. Perhaps the biggest and most pleasant thing in my opinion about this large community is the way in which the members treat each other and offer both advice and support.
