I couldn’t have been more than five years old when I became completely infatuated with photographs.  It started with a picture I found of my mother, this angelic little girl that had dressed up as a bride for Halloween.  She was so young and beautiful.  I was desperate to know every detail she could recall from the day the picture was taken and when there was nothing left to tell... I wanted more pictures!  That’s what a photograph is, a memory.  One glance can take you back 30 years.  Let me help you preserve your memories!
