As part of my training toward earning my bachelor's degree in journalism, I completed the photojournalism track of courses at Indiana University, Bloomington. I have been fortunate to have an opportunity in each of the professional positions I have held to put this passion to use.
I am most useful to companies and organizations for taking photos of events, such as community events, church services and similar instances when one wants to capture the essence of an event and its message. I am not a wedding or professional portrait photographer. My style is to capture life as it happens - unposed, real, alive.
For the design of this page, I have chosen mostly horizontal photos to share. However, I always make sure I take a good mix of both horizontal and vertical photos. You can rest assured that you will have a photo to fit your need for the perfect design of your own promotional materials and newsletters - horizontal, vertical, action facing left, facing right, wide angle, close-up and everything in between.
