I was always the kid with the camera taking snapshots. A few years ago, I suppose I had an awakening.

BEAUTY. Beauty is all around us. Sometimes it's not "majestic mountain" beauty, but it can be "parking lot wild flower" beauty.

The same is true in people. Not all people are models. In fact, most people aren't. Just as I seek to find beauty in the everyday world, I seek to find beauty in people. It's their signature smile, their signature pose. It's what makes them, just regular people, shine. Whether it's their wedding day or a personal portrait session, it's their time to shine.

It's our job as photographers, not to just take snapshots. We make the most of moments, even small ones. Moments make up our history and define us as individuals. Let us share those moments with you...
