While I haven't always made a living as a photographer, I feel that I have always lived as one. I requested my first camera at the age of 8 and have found great joy and expression in documenting the world around me over the years.

An official career in photography was born here in Greenville in 2001 where landscape and fine art images were my focus. A move to the Middle East in 2006 followed by 3 years in Texas took me in the directions of travel scenery, environmental portraiture, and ultimately to pet/animal portraiture.

Since returning to Greenville in 2012, I have continued to specialize in fine art pet portraiture under the "Fetching Images Photography" brand, and I have reacquainted myself and my camera with the beautiful landscapes of the area. I joined the Artists Guild Gallery of Greenville in 2013 and have been inspired by the talent around me here which has pushed me to try experimenting with different mediums. I have begun incorporating encaustic wax painting as well as leafing with fine metals into my work for some truly unique outcomes.
