About

I’m drawn to energy, drama and humor.  My specialty is documenting theatrical productions, but I can find those qualities in many contexts; serene and frenetic, subtle and obvious, moving and still.  Looking for them brings me hope and joy in a world that often seems so heavy.  I hope my work does the same for its viewers.

My father was a photographer, as was my grandfather.  I grew up with a darkroom in the basement and still remember the smell of the solutions. As a teen, I went through a period of rebellion (I wish I had taken more pictures in college…).  When I had kids, my photography genes came roaring back.  Fast forward to 2014, I had a brain hemorrhage.  Photography was instrumental in my recovery.  My previous career was no longer an option due to cognitive issues.  So, I created Spotlights Photography and here I am.  In addition to theater, I do headshots,  portraits and shoot galas and other events.  SpotlightsPhotography.com
