I started taking grave photos while researching my mother's side of the family. At first, it was just a small hobby and a way to learn more about my family history.

As I continued my research, I became determined to find my father's father. Very little information was known about him, and no one in the family seemed to have any answers. After a lot of searching, I finally found his grave. That discovery led me to records, relatives, and pieces of family history that had been missing for years. It was an incredible feeling and showed me how much information can come from a single memorial.

Since then, what started as a hobby has grown into something I truly enjoy. I have photographed many graves and memorials, helping families, friends, and fellow researchers connect with their ancestors and loved ones. I understand how meaningful it can be to receive a photo of a grave you may never be able to visit yourself.

I always try to take the best photo possible while treating every memorial with respect. My goal is to preserve these memories, help others with their research, and honor the people whose stories came before us.
