“I am originally from England and have lived in Kansas since I was 12 years old.  As a child I remember visiting my grandfather who worked for Kodak and him letting me sit in his home office that was filled with all types of cameras and found myself drawn to them.  My mother  always insisted in capturing the moment when I was growing up and my mother to this day makes sure to capture the memories.  I have my mother to thank for making sure I stopped to see the beauty that surrounds us everyday and that is where I believe I found my love in photography.  I took my first photography class in middle school and my father gifted me my very first camera when I got to high school.  I continued to take classes through high school and college.  I spent a few years being a portrait photographer but recently have found that I get the most joy in nature photography.”
