I am fortunate enough to be apart of a new creative venture with 11 other amazing and talented photographers. Our group is called Life in Loud and weekly we will produce an image (or two) that is purely for ourselves. You can read more about it here. Please visit our blog and like us on Facebook for weekly reminders of what we're up to.
This section will showcase all of my personal submissions in chronological order starting with week 1.
