It
is always an honor to photograph a child. Life moves so fast that
those tender moments of closeness between a parent and a child--or a sweet,
mischievous smile--are gone before we realize it. I feel so incredibly
blessed to be able to preserve those times through photographic images.
My interest in photography
began when I worked on the yearbook staff in high school. I attended
the University of South Carolina and majored in biology, but continued
to take photography classes and increased my skills both behind the lens
and in the darkroom. I earned a master’s degree in marine biology
from Florida Institute of Technology...and even then I was able to put
my photography experience to work. I used photography to document
larval fish I collected for my thesis project!
It wasn’t until I became
a mother in 1999 (and had subjects continuously at my whim) that my life’s
passion came into focus. My wonderful husband made sure my equipment
was state-of-the-art, and I made the jump from film to digital photography.
Eighteen months later, Mudpies was born. My joy continues to be photographing
children, and logical extensions of that...pregnancy and families.
I would welcome the opportunity of working with your family to record memories
that will be treasured for a lifetime.
