Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I am a bit of a daydreamer, always have been. I would stare out windows in class, or even at work and play in my daydreams, wishing I was somewhere else. I know I am not alone, many people do it. I was chatting to another photographer/artist friend and I was reminded of the saying…

Every now and then I get invited to work on a big collaborative shoot with other photographers, The Addams Family Wedding was one such venture.
