It was a beautiful and sunny day in early summer. I had hiked to the top of the mountain and was walking around when I spotted a gorgeous butterfly on the ground- brilliant blue in color- just sort of hanging around there on the dirt. As it flexed its wings, I hovered over it, admiring its beauty. I cupped and aimed the digital camera I held in my hands to capture an image of this beautiful creature. That was my first nature photograph, and I remember it like it was yesterday.

 

Over the last 10 years I have revisited the art of photography. I’ve searched out some gorgeous spots and subjects. I didn’t have to look far from my home in Appalachia.

 

I hope you enjoy my portfolio and hope to hear from you!
