Oh my I can't believe I'm about to start blogging...  I know it's all the rage, and really what better way for you to get to know me a bit better.  So here goes EEEEK! But seriously I'll tell you why I'm a photographer and hopefully this will help you decide if I'm the right photographer for you.

I'm a people person, I love visiting listening and sharing life's experiences with the people I meet. I can sit in a busy mall and just take in all of what is going on around me. Watching mothers tending to their children while juggling shopping and navigating the busy atmosphere, the couple picking out that special piece of jewellery, the teens giggling and socializing in their own carefree world, the older couple still in love sharing an ice cream at the cafe.  I take a picture of each of them and preserve it in my mental gallery, their daily lives are art to me.  When I have my camera out; weather during a session or just for me, as soon as I look through the lens it feels as if I'm in the moment with the subject, time stands still and sounds are silenced, it's magical, it's art. No one else sees that moment as I did and now i have that moment  preserved forever as photographic art.  This brings me such joy and that's why I'm a photographer.
