Photography... it’s not what I thought at all. After 20 years in the gospel music arena and a decade in radio, I thought my life’s work was purely in sound. But moving from Buffalo to New Haven changed the beat.
While music is my first love, I discovered that I don't just want you to hear a moment—I want you to see it forever.
What drew me to this art was the power to freeze time. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or a new face in my studio, I’m looking for the visual trigger—that raw, genuine emotion that can bring back a rush of memories in a single glance.
