A Moments' Magic

Tiny glimpses of life... the magic of moments all too often missed.

Forever and Always : Over the years, I have had the joy of sharing in these moments of love and promise.  These couples have graciously agreed to allow me to share some of them with you.  Love is often intangible, or shy and we don't always have the opportunity to actually see it.  In these young faces love is vibrant and unmistakable.  What a gift to have been there with them.

Lingering Light : Following Shannon's return to Heaven, I found myself, for a time, in a world without color.  Charcoal and paper allowed me to feel into being what light can coax from shadow.  What emerged were these moments, held gently in the space between darkness and light.

Your Bio

In the Gratitude Journal that Shannon kept for the last nine months of her life, she listed five things every day that she was grateful for. Today is October 24, 2009. Eleven years ago Shannon wrote "Thank you for rain. Thank you for time to decide. Thank you for crisp fall mornings."

She was our photographer. We spent amazing afternoons chasing sunsets and exploring beaver ponds. I miss her physical presence but when I am taking photographs, learning to see from my heart instead of my head, slowing and exploring a new rhythm of life, I know she is near.

I am still learning, grateful for your patience, your comments and any advice you would like to share. Thank you for spending a few magical moments with us.

As you may notice, this web site is another "work in progress". I am constantly learning and trying to find the right fit, but it is a comfort to know that you're there. The SmugMug family offers excellent products and I'm confident that should you choose to purchase prints, you will be very pleased.

This morning, I'm convinced that we can, together, slow life to a manageable pace, find time to breathe, appreciate those people who love us just as we are ... and experience a moment's magic.
