In high school I was the drama club historian, taking candid shots of my fellow thespians and documenting each event and performance with elaborate detail.  I should have known then that I would go into photography.  Instead, I studied acting at Marymount Manhattan College and later taught theatre for five years in Miami.  When I finally ran away to join the circus, I was disappointed to find out that Charlotte didn’t have one.  So, now I make pictures. It’s kind of like being the drama club historian – only different.

What should you know about me?  I use my camera to tell the remarkable story on the other side of the lens.  Although I take photography seriously, I am pretty silly and love to laugh.  Life fascinates me, especially after a yoga class and Starbucks doppio with cold milk to the top.  My belief is that having a picture taken should be a fun experience and that your picture should reflect who you are.  I work to make that happen.  Now smile, without saying “cheeeeeeeese”.
