As a photographer who grew up along the shore of Rockport MA, I’m drawn to the beauty and atmosphere of nature—those fleeting moments that stir something deep within us. Whether it’s the crash of waves against the shore or sunlight filtering through the trees, my goal is to capture these experiences in a way that transports the viewer.

I’m especially fascinated by the way light, color, and texture shape the landscapes around us. The ever-changing blues of the sea, the quiet presence of towering trees, the intricate patterns of branches—all of these elements tell a story. Trees, in particular, feel like silent witnesses to time, each with a distinct character that I try to reflect in my work.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually out wandering—along the shore, through the woods, or anywhere I can slow down and take in the details that often go unnoticed. The curve of a wave, the roughness of tree bark, the golden glow of twilight—these small moments inspire me, and I hope my photography helps others see them in a new way.

I love connecting with people who share a deep appreciation for nature, art, and storytelling. If my images resonate with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. After all, photography is about more than just capturing a scene—it’s about sharing the way we see and feel the world around us.
