Hi, I’m Helen!

My first memory of having a camera was the one my grandfather won for me at an amusement park. It used 110 film; I was so excited! I just loved taking pictures. My grandmother would often refer to me as the family photographer. But, life gets in the way sometimes and photography took a backseat for a few years.

Fast forward 40 years.

After my husband’s death in 2009, I attended a grief and healing group. I was encouraged to do something I always wanted to do. That was easy – photography. I purchased a camera the next day.

My life was instantly transformed from that day forward.

Through the lens of my camera I have seen beauty I never knew existed. My heart has become filled with gratitude. I want you to experience what I feel when you look at my images: the warmth of a sunrise, the sounds of a loon, the wonder of shooting stars making their way through the Milky Way.

I fell in love with the lifestyle aspect of photography as well – capturing families when they are most connected, being themselves –and then bringing that memory to life through images.

There is a saying that goes something like this:

I have done just that … with my camera by my side.
