After a childhood of being fascinated by photographs and snapping images for fun, my professional photographic journey began in the summer of 2005. There are many different reasons I decided to pursue photography.
Provide Memories
I want to create memories for my clients. To not only capture what they look like but provide an experience that is worth remembering. To have fun! To celebrate this moment!
Bring Joy
I want to make a lasting impact on my clients. I want my clients to consider their images among their most prized possessions. To smile when they look at their family and remember that precious time!
Reveal The Soul
I have a lot of time and money invested in learning the best ways to portray my clients. We are all so critical of ourselves. My goal is for every client to look like themselves on their very best day, with the best lighting, posing, and retouching techniques. To see the true beauty that is each person!
Create Art
I want each of my clients to go home with the most beautiful art pieces that lovingly display their family members. I incorporate many artist techniques that I have learned throughout the years in every single image I create.
Personal Expression
Photographic artistry has become a means of an intensely personal expression to me. Every photographer has their own look. I have invested in many hours of education to develop my own techniques. I am especially proud of my Opulent Fine Art portraits, which possess an Olde-World vibe. They are timeless and nostalgic and unique.
Challenge Myself
I am constantly trying to better myself and my craft. Much of this takes place in photographic competition, where I learn to analyze images in new ways. I take the lessons I learn and apply them to my client work.
Divine Purpose
Ultimately, I believe God led me on this photographic journey. I believe He leads me in the day to day decisions regarding my business. God made me an artist with an artist’s brain which is sensitive and critical of self and always striving to be better. He wanted to use me to make a difference in the lives of others.
