Photography has always been a passion of mine and I began my professional journey in the early 70’s, focusing on sports photography in the city of Atlanta. I was one of those folks who carried their camera everywhere (literally), so my subject matter soon became vast and varied, which continues today. Being a freelance writer and photographer living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, I spend  a good deal of my time focused on the natural wonders abundant in this part of the country. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is only 30 miles away while the amazing and always beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway begins a short drive from home as well. I live surrounded by National Forests in every direction to encompass Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee which is the heart of Appalachia giving me a large palate of beauty and events to cover.

I am also an organic homesteader, a former North Carolina Master Gardener, a National Wildlife Habitat Steward and my property, called "Earth Magic", is NWF certified Backyard Habitat. Because of this, a good bit of my work revolves around the garden, it's wildlife and the surrounding forests.

Event coverage (parties, anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions, etc.), natural setting portraits, pet portraits along with residential and commercial work rounds out my portfolio.
