AbunDance



The action of dancing

is our body’s inner communication with us,

and, deeper, a connection to the Divine in us.

Whether our glances or our bodies meet on the floor,

the dancer in me honors the dancer in you.

Pleased to Meeting You!



As a small business photographer, I see people working together to provide the best experiences their own businesses can offer. All the time.

My special skill is in capturing the brief, but beautiful moments of interactions, outreach, networking and personal celebrations with better than normal portraits with the participants of your distinctive event.

This good feeling image, taken during the networking of the Northside Networking Group, captures their natural, engaging images for social media needs.

One Inspired Evening – One Moment in Time


I like to refresh the palate with photos I enjoyed taking years ago.

This revisit was an annual benefit for the Inspiration Corporation called One Inspired Evening. Their benefit art auction is the best local art social of the year.

About Such Things


Paraphrased from Philippians 4:8:

“…Whatever is true, whatever is noble,

whatever is right, whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable,

โ€” if anything is excellent or praiseworthy โ€”

think about such things.”

My focus as a witness and photographer

is to bring a good vibe into the event

and capture its effect on others.

Eye Contact

Some kids will be in need of others adult help to manage their lives all their lives. Some will need to have coaches, practicing, extra encouragement to try something in unfamiliar situations, using social skills others take for granted.

Love makes everything grow!

And in my life, it was 100% worth it. Seeing my guy Artist with his graduating class is abundance in presence, representing years of adapting to continual change and independence in my life and his with optimism, patience, and gratitude.

I speak for all good things for the tremendous special ed teachers we have encountered in critical times through the educational system, helping me ask the questions and meet other parents traversing their children’s futures.
