I believe God reveals himself through His creation, which is why beauty can be found everywhere--even in (or, maybe, especially in) our mundane,  day-to-day life. The desire to capture that is what fuels my passion for photography.  I have always had a niche for creating beautiful things. I often think of a quote I heard a long time ago--"before anything else, God was a creator. Perhaps this is why we feel most alive when we are creating." This could not be more true of my own life, and I'm so thankful that photography gives me an avenue to do that while meeting wonderful people.
