I live in South Riding, Virginia near the barns and horses of Middleburg. I got my love of photography from my father and my love of plants and gardening from my mother. I take photos of what I think is beautiful, unusual, and sometimes fleeting. Anything — from barns to animals to plants – that catches my attention and draws me in to look closer. Wandering through gardens and the woods is meditative for me, and it’s exciting to look at the images later and discover surprises I hadn’t known were there. I like to photograph many subjects but I always come back to flowers and plants, in all their various stages and seasons.
