I have had a love of photography since an early age, around nine, when my parents let me use their Kodak 110 camera. Film and developing were expensive, though, and I was nine, so I didn’t get to fulfill my photobug dreams until the digital age when I got a cellphone. I got my first “real” camera, my Nikon D3400, at the age of 52, and I have known true joy ever since.
Aside from being a photographer, I am a Reiki Master. Reiki is using Universal Life Force Energy to heal mentally and physically. My work is loaded with Reiki energy, a positive force for any room or office! Combining these passions, photography and Reiki, gives me an ultimate purpose, and isn’t that something we all need in life?
I go by instinct rather than rules. And when I get the captures I want, I smile and sometimes gives a little chuckle because I know I’ve got it just right. My wish is to share my love of beauty with the world, one picture at a time. The beauty of a lily with a bumble bee whose legs are full of pollen. The beauty of Lake Michigan beaches and sunsets, Utah’s mountains, Florida’s fauna. The beauty behind laughter caught in digital, a moment forever etched in time.
