About

I am artist and always have been since I was old enough to pick up a pencil. When I have a camera in my hand I can’t stop experimenting with different effects and scenarios, it is what I love to do. Honestly when I am photographing I don’t consider it work regardless if I am getting paid or not. I am very good a photographing people because I can relate to just about anyone, and I have the ability to make people comfortable even when they have a camera pointed at them. High school seniors gel well with me because I am a kid at heart and always will be. I love children (especially my two beautiful boys), and I love the challenge that they can bring at any age. Older people enjoy me as well I think mostly because I take the time to listen and I am all about respect for them and the stories that they bring to the table… I have a passion for "seeing" light and capturing the “real” person behind the eyes of whom I am so fortunate to photograph. I have entered multiple high school senior portrait contests, and won 1st place in all with the exception of one respectable 2nd place, and one 3rd place.
