What if you could capture a moment that embodies centuries of dreams, victories, and heartaches all in one frame? 

That was my quest at Churchill Downs, the legendary heart of the Kentucky Derby.

As I walked through the gates, I was greeted by the majestic statue of Barbaro, the Derby champion whose courage captivated the world. The dramatic clouds above seemed to dance around the spires, echoing the thunderous roar of the crowds from Derbies past. The air was filled with a mix of popcorn, fresh grass, and the faint scent of roses—tributes to the Derby winners.

The sounds were a symphony of history; the distant echoes of cheering, the rhythmic clacking of hooves on the track, and the soft murmur of excitement that filled the air. Each bite of the traditional Derby pie, rich in chocolate and nuts, seemed to melt into flavors as timeless as the event itself.

Capturing the perfect photograph at Churchill Downs wasn't just about the right settings on my camera; it was about capturing the essence of this iconic place. As I positioned myself, the history of the Derby played in my mind—decades of triumphs and losses, all witnessed by these grand stands and silent spires.

Finally, with a click, the scene was captured: timeless, profound, a frozen echo of all the Derbies that had passed and those yet to come. I had not only taken a photo; I had captured a piece of history.

In places like Churchill Downs, you realize some stories are written not just by the people who live them, but also by the places that witness them.

Meet The Artist

I discovered my passion for capturing the wonders of creation at twelve, holding a pink camera under the sprawling branches of a black walnut tree. It was spring, and the air carried the heavy perfume of fruit blossoms. Before me stretched a field awash in purple wildflowers, their brilliance framed by clouds lazily drifting across an endless sky. Though recovering from illness, my soul stirred, urging me to preserve the moment. The click of the shutter felt like a vow: I would someday share the beauty of this world with everyone.

But life had its demands, and my dream grew quiet as I matured. At twenty-six, a degenerative nerve disease altered my course. With hands that betrayed me and my vision blurred, the lens seemed further from reach. The ache to create remained, yet my abilities became uncertain and my aspirations distant. I prayed, unsure if the desire to photograph was meant to stay or fade.

In 2019, the quiet ember reignited. With faith as my anchor, I enrolled in classes to master the art I once thought lost. The work was painstaking. My fingers trembled, my sight faltered, but each image I captured spoke of determination. Slowly, I rediscovered my rhythm, my purpose, and my joy.

By 2023, I had learned not only to take photographs but to share them. An online academy guided me in turning passion into livelihood. Hesitant, yet hopeful, I launched a small store, my art a reflection of my journey. That fall, my first sale arrived—a quiet affirmation.

Today, my photographs grace walls and hearts. Each frame whispers stories of resilience and grace, a reflection of a Creator’s hand in my life. Through my lens, I offer the world a glimpse of glory, one image at a time.
