So, I'm told I have an "eye" for photography. Folks say my pictures reflect them, their children or families better than any images they've had. Company leaders say my work turns industrial images into art. OK, these may be an overly polite compliments, but if you look at my portraits, I think you will see there's some cool connection between the person in front of the lens and me. What I will assure you is that you will get more in quality than you pay for. I am very particular in finishing images.

I consider my work to be documentary-style. The majority of your images are captured in-the moment. My job is to click photos while your moments tell a story all of their own. Having been blessed with a simple life I was exposed to nature and hard work on a daily basis. Because of this I truly feel that there is so much beauty that exists all around us ...sometimes we just have to take the time and enjoy where we are ... you know ... literally stop and smell the flowers. Being able to see and appreciate the little things is both a gift and talent - that requires work and practice. In 2004 I worked as an apprentice with a professional photographer and also earned a degree in graphic design during 2005-2008. I am constantly taking photographs and playing with the creative possibilities in Photoshop. Clients are provided with a combination of candid natural shots and traditional-style posed images. Meeting new people, learning new things, conversation, and making people happy!
