Belatedly, I'm posting the next children's picture book Go Fish! This charming, fun, and entertaining picture book was published in January 2025. The picture book tells an adorable rhyming story of Maia wanting to take a nap, but reconsiders when her friends her to go fish! The adventure begins as Maia and her crew explore ponds and lakes to find and catch fish. Photographically illustrated, the pictures provide fresh visual content children will get excited over.

Jigsaw Puzzle Business Closed
Due to a lack of interest for the jigsaw puzzles I’ve had to close that part of my photography business in March 2025. As an independent creator, sustaining the puzzle business was difficult when competing again established corporate brands. My Etsy, Printify, and Shopify stores have all been closed. I thank all of you who were interested and purchased puzzles and hope you will turn your interests to my fine art photography and children’s picture books. Thank you!

Upcoming Individual Personae Book
Over the last year and a half I have been creating a coffee table style photography book from the Individual Personae Collection. The book has been drafted and a PDF copy will be sent out to friends and colleagues for comment in the near future. The full-body portraits of individuals document the character of persons, without facial detail, focussing on their personal characteristics that illustrate how unique every person is. The photographs show the diversity of the public collective in an era of increased racism and violence against minority groups. More on this to be announced in upcoming news, so stay tuned!
Floral Dreams
Happy New Year! Introducing Floral Dreams, an innovative new photographic series crafted in 2023. This collection is born from a unique concept that involves capturing the essence of floral subjects by extracting vibrant color hues for the background and exclusively highlighting their geometric shapes. The result is a distilled, minimalistic form that seamlessly blends the floral color palette with the inherent beauty of nature, offering viewers a visually soothing and meditative experience.
