I specialize in wedding photojournalism blended with artful shots utilizing years of portrait photography.
Photography has been a lifelong passion for me. I have always recognized the powerful emotional connections between people and photographs - photographs of themselves, of loved ones, of lives past and present. We all hold images as sacred representations of our memories. I have learned that the photographer has great responsibilities to those he or she photographs. I specialize in giving individualized care and treatment to bring out inner light in a photograph. I spend the extra time you need to be comfortable in front of a camera. Each shoot is especially customized for you. I believe I bring unique abilities to all genres of photography, whether it's individual or business portraiture, family portraiture, weddings, or your family pet.
