I love the challenge photography brings. Nothing ever goes the way you want it, children always running off, someone is always "not smiling" or "not looking" at the camera. And that is what I love. There is a challenge to it that drives me. I love getting those real life moments. Capturing the love in a family, or a brother and sister off on thier own playing together. A baby's first smile and all those little moments that most see but don't capture.

I grew up with a Mom that had a camera always in her hand and now I love to look at the albums and see all those precious moments of us growing up. Pictures are pricless.
