Photographing the Natural Beauty of Ohio

Whatever is true, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable…

think on these things.

I am a contemplative photographer living in central Ohio, responding to moments of light, texture, and movement that elevate the ordinary. Most of my work is in parks and nature preserves on the west side of Columbus, especially Prairie Oaks Metro Park, part of the Big Darby Creek area.

I observe, reflect on, and photograph what everyone sees but often just walks past: a robin, reflections in a shop window, reeds in a marshy area, leaves floating on the murky river, and the wind blowing through tulips. I hope my work helps you slow down, notice, and fall in love with the small, ordinary, beautiful things. I hope time with my photography encourages you to go outside more and enjoy the natural beauty close to home.

I add to my photography portfolio regularly and am actively working on focused photography projects.
