Your Bio

I've been an avid photographer since I was 12; upon receiving a Kodak Instamatic camera for Christmas. I was immediately captivated by capturing images of friends, family, neighbors,nature,and pets - the ordinary and the extraordinary. From my rural country farm roots to cities, towns, landscapes and urban scenes around the globe; I embrace the opportunity to reveal our shared world and communicate your special story. My signature style is to blend documentary photojournalism and creative fine arts to uniquely preserve the everyday and the very special day - both domestically as well as internationally.

I am a graduate of the Photography for Emerging Professionals Certificate Program at Indiana University-Purdue University, Ft. Wayne, IN (IPFW), School of Business/Management. Special assignments include volunteering on behalf of NPOs, exhibiting at galleries, documenting events, personal stories and combining my passion for travel and new learning opportunities with photography.

Each month tens of thousands of the images on this website are viewed around the world. Comments and photo credits are welcomed.

Velkommen Til Stoughton!:Syttende Mai ! : "Syttende Mai" is Norwegian for the 17th of May, the date in1814 that the Norwegian Constitution was signed granting Norway its own independence (from Denmark). Stoughton celebrates Syttende Mai on the weekend nearest May17th (this year May 17th, 18th, 19th 2013) going back as far as 1868, when immigration of Scandinavians to this part of Wisconsin was reaching its peak. Take a look at a delightful, colorful, fun and delicious Syttende Mai gathering beginning with a friendly "home-coming" feast at the home of the Breckbill's, 408 Oak Street, Stoughton. The gourmet spread accompanied by lively conversation was followed by a trek through the Southwest Historic District (on the National Register), onto a jammed and bustling Downtown Main Street including the spectacular fully renovated Stoughton Opera House. Meet the friends and family that enjoyed the Syttende Mai celebration including those that posed for their portraits and those that laughed and jumped for joy. Here's an up close look at lovely historic Stoughton including the Breckbill's circa 1909 Victorian home.
