born and raised in rural north carolina but now living in washington, d.c. area, i first discovered photography through my father. more so out of curiosity of what images were in his mounds of undeveloped film. i still wonder about that film.

today, i’m an educator by trade, but more griot by passion. i love stories – through written expression, images and conversation. stories last forever. they are sealed in time. they are simply and wonderfully, memories. my goal – as my great-grandmother always said – is to be particular. in everything, i strive to be distinguished and detailed. whatever the occasion, i strive to provide particular attention for the memories that will last a lifetime. i welcome the opportunity to capture yours. what memories can we create today?
