Once you recognize your calling in life, it’s pretty hard to ignore. Other people start to see it, and then they start cheering you on. It’s like you were made to do this. 

All roads lead here. 

The first time my feet hit the ground in The Netherlands, I kept waiting for the inevitable culture shock to completely engulf me. I kept searching for that feeling of dread that I’m thousands of miles away from home, but that’s the trickery of the travel bug. It embeds itself deep in your soul, and I knew I had it when that feeling I’d been waiting on, never arrived. I took over 3000 photographs in 10 days. In the years that followed, I spent time in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, England and Scotland. It became clear that the fascination of architecture is a quiet, passionate obsession of mine. 

When I look back, even I am amazed that I started a photography business by myself, from my kitchen table. I never thought I would sell almost every piece at my first art show. I never would have imagined that national magazines would publish my work, and I certainly never envisioned working side-by-side with Harley-Davidson, Emmy award winning musicians, incredible artists from all walks of life and Blue Mitchell, an internationally known legend in the photography industry. 

If I told my younger self that this is where we end up one day, I would have called myself a liar and thrown glitter in my own face. I couldn’t have planned a better journey than the one I have been on. I am truly blessed.

Thank you for your interest in my work. I will always continue to share my passion and adventures, wherever in the world I reside.
