I am a professional photographer with a background in history and preservation. My images and articles on historic places have been nationally published.
Growing up in Fort Worth, I spent a lot of time in the Fairmount and Ryan Place neighborhoods. As a child I would have her grandmother drive me through the old neighborhoods and talk about the house styles and history.
I have always enjoyed exploring museums and the western landscape and learned an appreciation for light, form and design.
Attending Tarrant County College, I studied fine art photography and design and accepted a job at the college in the journalism department. Today, I still hold a job at TCC as the production manager for the student newspaper, The Collegian, and work with nationally award-winning design, photography and marketing students.
I am a freelance photographer, graphic designer and an appointed officer of the Tarrant County Historical Commission. I live in a 1915 bungalow in the Fairmount National Historic District and also have a home in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I enjoy photographing nature and the night sky.
My photographs and articles have been nationally and locally published in magazines and books. I am always looking for ways to blend my love of architecture, light, and the western landscape into my images.
