While I love good food and good wine and get caught up in home improvement shows, I prefer to live my life seizing the moment, the kind you'll remember for all of your life. As the creator of my life, I meditate as a road to discovering my true self and to become aware of my unconscious thoughts. This fuels an unbelievable amount of inspiration and creativity in my photography. Nature is my soul and horses are my heart. Sometimes when everything else seems to fail me, I can always find solace in the eyes of a horse, the song of a bird and the sound of the ocean.

For as long as I can remember I've had a camera in one hand and a horse in the other. I think it was a natural progression that my biggest passions merged into a dream vocation.

I have been a full time professional Horse and Nature photographer since 2005. I still wake up each morning excited to see what the world will surprise me with. Horses and Nature never dissapoint.

"I believe that photography as art has a huge capacity to enlighten us. Images can make us happy or make us cry. They can make us feel relaxed and peaceful, even grateful. Nature photography is known to lower blood pressure and remove stress. Photography empowers us, it gives us a sense of wholeness, a sense of being part of something much bigger connecting us to nature. It doesn't matter if the viewer is interior designer looking for the perfect photo to finish a room, a corporation rebuilding their offices, the medical industry looking for images to calm the patient, or just a child that loves horses more than anything in the world.

The fine art horse and nature photography galleries on this site are just a sampling of my work. If you have something special that you are looking for please contact me with specifics here. Photograph sizes can be produced at virtually any size.
