Capturing your moments...that is my passion. I have always enjoyed photographs. Even as a child I loved to look at the old family photos. I would just stare at them...What were these people doing? What were they thinking? What on earth is that person laughing at? My Mother would always fill in the details, like it just happened yesterday. My Father was an amatuer photographer, and that's where it all started. With his equipment I soon started in school. I had spent many hours in a darkroom trying to perfect my style, the way I see the world. You see, I have always been an art kid, painting ,drawing, sculpting... anything I could get my hands on, get dirty with and express myself, I did it. That's the way I will approach your photographs. I want to capture your moments and expressions. Not just a static pose with Mom and Dad. Let's get the memories; those first steps, the first kiss... I want your family and friends to look at your photographs years from now and ask the question " What on earth was this person laughing at?" and you can smile and tell them exactly what happened like it just happened yesterday.

The Kidwell Kids


I had the awesome pleasure of getting the chance to shoot these lovely little darlings. Both Chloe Ann and Rindy Lee had these deep dark eyes that looked right through you and both were so expressive. Like most kids they were a little bit hesitant of the bald guy. But they always come around. How could you not at this goofy guy. I think the trick to shooting kids is you really need to let them get comfortable with you. A strange person with a big black camera making kissy noises is enough to make even the most outgoing child a little defensive...
