My ultimate goal with every client is to turn everyday moments into lasting works of art and precious reflections they can feel proud of- the types of images that make them smile and share with the people they love, or those with whom they aim to make a good impression.

From cozy solo sessions to lively events, I focus on authentic connections and true-to-life colors that feel like you—warm, vibrant, and full of heart. Whether you need updated portraits, event coverage, or fresh visuals for your business, I’ll guide you through a stress-free experience so you can relax and enjoy the spotlight while I handle the details.

One advantage that sets me apart from other photographers is that I’ve spent many years on both sides of the camera and know very well how intimidating it can be. In my younger days, I started modeling after being encouraged by a college professor to figure model for an art class. Money was tight and tuition was due, so I seized the opportunity. Let me tell you, it is a truly humbling experience to stand in the center of a circle of budding artists- remaining completely still for up to an hour…on an elevated platform…with a hot spotlight shining on you…as they draw their impressions of every single detail of you! Eventually, I made the leap to being in front of a camera for some light fashion and fitness modeling. While it wasn’t nearly as vulnerable as the figure drawing sessions, there was something even more anxiety-inducing in the lack of anonymity and awareness that a still image was capturing however I looked in that moment, for better or for worse.

All that is to say that I know exactly how it feels and what it takes to build the confidence needed to relax when you believe pictures of you will be on display for others to analyze. More importantly, I keep those experiences in mind when working with clients to make them feel more comfortable when they’re in front of my lens. I take the time and care needed to build the critical trust that our work will only highlight the natural human beauty that all of us share. My objective in every session is to capture the essence of who my client is and showcase their personality and finest features. As a portrait photographer, that is something only achieved through many years of experience with a camera and knowledge of lighting, and real connection with the subject. With over 20 years of being in customer service and practicing photography, I’ve become skilled at both- and I truly enjoy capturing special moments of people that show them in their best light!
