I am a commercial and editorial photographer based in ATLANTA, GEORGIA. THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR KIDS IN A MILITARY FAMILY, THERE WERE FIVE STAMPS IN MY PASSPORT BY THE TIME I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD. MY FATHER RETIRED FROM THE AIR FORCE JUST BEFORE I ENTERED KINDERGARTEN AND WE MOVED TO NORTH FLORIDA WHERE LIFE BECAME MORE PREDICTABLE. a few years later, i began to take pictures (mostly of my pets and friends) with my mom's point-and-shoot TO ENTERTAIN MYSELF AND ALSO BECAUSE I LOVED GOING TO K-MART WHERE I COULD sit at the counter and talk to people WHILE waiting for my prints to shuffle out of the machine.
my WORK is a combination of STORYTELLING AND PORTRAITURE, OFTEN WITH A FOCUS ON SOCIAL ISSUES. my roots are in the american south and I am as PASSIONATE ABOUT doing work here as any other place in the world. I am a spanish-speaker (also fluent in non-verbal communication) and have worked extensively in central and south america, europe and asia.
