Whitewater Rapids Girl
When it comes to taking pictures of my family, I prefer to try and capture real moments rather than artificial poses. I don’t like going into a studio and watching as my children struggle to put on natural looking smile. I prefer a real smile with a twinkle in the eye that reflects their true and immediate emotions.

What a view
When you think of summer, what is the first thing that pops in your head? For me, it’s the beach. Luckily I live close to it. I can walk to the beach; it is only eight blocks from my home. It has been almost a month in a half since I had seen the beach. So, I want to talk about the photo that I took when I went for a walk with my husband, Ian, and my mom. On a Sunday afternoon, the beach was crowded with people and their pets. My husband and my mother were getting ready to head home when I saw “The Huntington Beach Pier” from the parking lot. It was such a beautiful site, almost as if I hadn’t seen “The Huntington Beach Pier” in years. I knew right there. I had to take a photo.

The Tree Graveyard
It was a Sunday afternoon and Maggie, our 5 years old German Shepherd, was anxious for her walk. We decided on the dog park at Bruce Pit to allow her some freedom as these parks allow pets to be unleashed all at the owner's discretion of course. The sky did not look favourable upon our arrival but we decided to take the trail for Maggie's sake. She bounded away and we followed. I have not visited this trail in quite some time so when I came across this scene I was stopped in my tracks. My partner did not realize that I was no longer beside him until some few yards away when I saw him in my periphery looking back at me.

Get out!
Being a photographer brought many benefits into my life. Besides doing something I love, creating beautiful moments in life, working with other creatives, creating beautiful photos for so many people in my life, one of the most beautiful benefits of being a photographer is exploring and the drive to see more.

Nature from Up Close
When I was a kid, I had an art teacher who used to tell me all the time that "less leads to the best". What he meant by that is that we make better art when there are constraints because it pushes us to the limit of our creativity. Although I understood what he was saying, I couldn't entirely grasp it until I took this shot you're looking at right now.

Alone Under the Stars
There is an inexplicable feeling of being somewhere alone. The absence of alternative human presence almost forces a person to become completely immersed in place itself. Something I have found is that every place has a very distinct feeling that is almost always entirely unique. This place, tucked away in the vast expanse of the California Desert, produces a feeling of remote and off grid lonesomeness that is hard to replicate.

You Can't Go Home Again, and Maybe That's Okay
“You Have Stumbled on In Darkness, You Have Been Pulled in Different Directions” This is my childhood home located in rural North Carolina. As you can probably tell from the overgrown weeds and empty driveway, my family has not lived here for some time. To most this picture shows nothing more than an abandoned house, but for me this picture holds an unmatched hope.

Crosshairs. First Place in Mobile Moments Challenge.
Kareem peeks timidly around the archway, into the frame. The man drops his camera and smiles at the boy, who ducks back into the vestibule of his home. The man snaps a few more photos of his wife sitting, standing, strutting up the stairs. The man and his wife depart; two more take their place. Kareem peeks timidly around the archway, into the frame.

peach margarita story
I don’t necessarily understand all art. I accept that I’m not meant to know or understand everything, and people laugh when I say that, but it’s true. Art that I do understand, is something I can touch or taste. I don’t get anything out of going to museums and looking at paintings or sculptures I can’t put my hands on. If I can’t actively engage with it in a way I like, I’m not interested.

Fifth Symphony
I was hiking in a local state park called Balboa Park in San Diego, California and I had just finished hiking one of the easier trails and was making my way off the trail when I came across a bunch trash and scattered records on a bridge that leads from one set of hiking trails to more advanced and deeper hiking trails, and amongst the records was Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. Being that I'm a huge Beethoven fan I felt like I had to capture this image, I thought how lucky am I to have come across such an amazing image. My initial thought was why would someone break a Beethoven record and leave it here like that. I’ve always loved classical music and have been lucky enough to attend a number of orchestral performances so my inspiration for capturing this image was partly inspired by wanting to capture a great scene and because I love classical music and this cover was lain across as if it were waiting to be photographed. When I take a photograph, I try to find things that you wouldn’t come across every day or that people would ordinarily miss.
