Photos from home



I've been photographing for 20 years... call it a passion, a sickness; call it what you will. For even more years, I've been finding trinkets, antiques, and junk from yard sales and thrift shops, remaking and reusing these things... creating a tableau of my home-- everything, everywhere: visual.




Six years ago these passions came together when I opened a portrait studio from my home.  I hope to show you what I've learned about making a studio out of a home, whether you choose to live there or not. There's a real art to making a house into a photo home-- someplace that feels so comfy people instantly relax when they come in-- free to reveal themselves and interact with each other in sweet, homey ways.  Connection is the key to making great images, and I believe that being in a relaxing home is soooo much more conducive to this than a cold studio space.
