She doesn’t remember the time she lived in the water, but it happened, just as it’s happening now inside her. But her body remembers the smooth rocking; It remembers the comfort of muffled sound, vibrations in the dark. She moves along the edge of the beach, aching to feel the familiar water on her skin.

Motherhood, in all of it’s painful beauty, swept up in the waves of the ordinary. We don’t realize how miraculous this is, unseparated from the mundane. Here lies everyday magic, the place where this world meets another. How beautiful it is to witness. How magical it is to live within this pool of watery beholding; […]

A portrait of self and other; two souls filled with longing for themselves and for each other. A tidal wave of feeling captured from years of passion and pain. Our stories weave into one another, creating a tapestry that will be our life together. And this, photographic evidence that we were here. That we lived. […]

Why buy an image to hang on your walls when you could become the custom and one of a kind art you look at everyday? This is exactly the intention behind my conceptual fine art sessions.

Labeling my work boudoir would certainly make it easier as the term “boudoir” itself is so popular. It just makes sense, doesn’t it? But I can’t bring myself to call my work boudoir. It […]

Believe it or not, I grew up going to church. My mother came from a very pious Seventh-Day Adventist family who wholeheartedly believed that Jesus was coming soon and we needed to be watchful for deception. Growing up, I experienced many different flavors of Christianity (Adventist, Catholic, Pentecostal, JW, Mormon, Non-Denominational) and many levels of […]

Did you know that mature trees feed younger ones, sending them nutrients in a way akin to breastfeeding? Did you know that when an old tree is left to rot and decay on the forest floor, it becomes a powerful generator for new growth? Did you know that decaying leaves break down in the water […]

“I shoot the way I see,” she told me, “I just take the picture I want to take.” And I realized that I was talking to a follower of the Artistic Wild, soul deep, intuitive, and unyielding in her vision. Her eye is focused and it’s focused on her own heart and the strange beauty […]
