Introduction

There is a saying that a picture is worth a 1000 words. I love to capture the essence of the event. I just don't take pictures to collect a pay check, I love what I do and I have pride at my work. I want my clients to hire me for their future events and refer me to their friends and family because they love my work. Photos are all about capturing that perfect moment. And whether it's a Wedding, Birthday, baby shower, an anniversary or simply photos of your newborn, its moments like those which can be relived over and over. My passion as natural photographer, drives me to focus on images that are "in the moment", natural, and candid. In partnership with Wahida Jamal, our collaborative experience are both creative and detail oriented. Most of the time I only use 'iPhoto' or 'Lightroom' to edit the pictures. I use the photoshop only if there is a special request by the client. I love what I do, the most amazing part of my job is how different every job is. I go to different locations, different functions. I meet different people and experience wide variety of cultures. I have been to many countries and been exposed to many cultures, but I still experience something new all the time. I like to be open minded and work with the client to make sure their special day, special event stays special.

Q&A

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Did photography in school and worked in one hour photo lab developing pictures and working with machines relating to colors. I also have over 22 years of experience in this field.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I always loved to see things thru lens, so when I was in school, I got a camera (35mm), took a lot of pictures. After a few years, I did my cousin's wedding that had over 300 people. The product was really good, everyone loved it, so I did a few more weddings and that's how I started.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Every kind of customer. I have done many Weddings, Engagements and Henna nights (Afghan, Indian, Pakistani, Syrian , Yemen, Russian, Caucasian, African American). Done a lot of family photo shoot and portrait photo shoots. I have done a lot of Birthday parties (1st, 6th, 18th, 40th, 50th) and done a few quinceanera's I have done a few baby showers and bridal showers.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

that we know how important each moment in life is, and once it passes, can't get them back. That's why we do everything we can to capture that.
