Tell us about what drives your work, How did you get started? I had a Kodak Instamatic camera as a kid, and my dad would give me a roll of film every week. I used to walk around taking pictures of neighborhood scenes when I was just 8 or 9 years old, and I was …
Photographing horses had always been a creative dream of mine. The initial challenge I faced was my own insecurity and fear. I was so reluctant to ask anyone if I could photograph their horses. It took five years of living by my neighbor who has three horses before I finally had the nerve to go ask if I could photograph them. I realize just saying that sounds so crazy. It is so sad how much we deny ourselves by letting fear take over the driving wheel. My approach for this horse shoot was to capture these beautiful animals in the area they call home, in the same manner, I conduct my family lifestyle sessions. Start by observing how they interact with each other at their own home and not pose them at all.

The challenge, which is still actually a challenge, is convincing people that birth photography is worth the investment and that it’s not actually about the crotch shot. When I share what I do, I’m often met with faces of confusion and borderline disgust as they visualize me with my camera aimed at woman’s vagina with a crowning baby emerging. 95% of the time, that is NOT what I do.
I knew that births were where I wanted to be when I had the opportunity to capture the birth of a clients’ first child. For me, my first child’s birth is only a faint memory with bits and pieces missing. I captured for them what I didn’t have and that was, and remains, something very special to me. When I advocate for birth, I have the experience of the regret of NOT having a birth documented to speak on and it helps.
Tell us about what drives your work. I’ve always been into music. I started playing piano before I can remember, I wrote music as a child, and I almost never stopped singing. My mom started me out on the good stuff…theater, old movies, lots of Lawrence Welk, Nat King Cole, Cole Porter, 1950’s …
I had the intention and desire to capture every moment of my kids growing because they sprout up so quickly. That desire was enough to keep me clicking away, but I didn’t know that the desire was going to grow into a passion for life due to a dramatic incident.
During the first seven years or so, I tried many editing styles. Over that period, I probably bought all actions available on the market emulating the ‘look of film’. One day, I thought that it might be a good idea to try to actually SHOOT film and because I can be impulsive from time to time, I bought a cheap Nikon N80 on a whim. One roll and I was absolutely hooked.
