About me ....
When not trying to convince people that I am the seventh (unknown) Brady child, I enjoy taking pictures that capture moments in time; moments of joy, laughter, determination or a sense of accomplishment.
After graduating from St. Bonaventure University with a BA in Mass Communication, I embarked on a PR career that actually centered on "fun" - theme parks and sports teams. When we moved to the Bluffton area in 2006, I began to freelance and was asked to provide visuals to go along with my written work. While doing so, it was of no surprise to find that I gravitated toward fun subjects as well. Kids. Athletics. Events. I like my pictures to tell a story. I love the candid and action shots - the accomplishment, the unposed, the unexpected. Best are the jokers whose personalities often outshine their size and/or accomplishment!
While my main purpose is to shoot for public display, once I go through the pics and edit the "money shots," I often go back in and find others as I realize just how lucky I am to get a front row seat to these events. It's at that point that I switch from "photographer" to "parent" and edit those with the intent of you being able to view and keep them as a memory.
