2009 was a year of growth and transition for me. I believe it is important to look ahead, but one must also look back to see how one came to be where they are, and to help map out the future.

2009 was a challenging year in many ways. For me. tighter client budgets resulted in fewer advertising assignments and stock sales. Tighter personal finances prevented me from doing as much international traveling I had hoped to do.
I did however  focus on more personal projects, develop new business relationships locally, and take part in family adventures closer to home. As a result my work shifted a bit with a growing emphasis on portraiture and further developing my fine art photography sales.

At the heart of my work has always been creating images of people that tell a story. This last year allowed me opportunities to further develop “my style” of portraiture. I have been taking supplemental lighting into the outdoors and mixing it with natural light. I have been endeavoring to produce images with an emphasis on story telling through a single image.
