First Session of the Year

Photographing these two cuties was a WONDERFUL way to start the new year. This was our second session with Miss Grace, who brought along big sister Isabella (and Mom & Dad) this time. What a beautiful family, and so easy to work with. The personality of both girls just shines through their breath-taking eyes.

My Style

Not all great portraits are of smiling faces (although I never turn down a genuine smile). A great portrait captures raw emotion, fleeting moments and true expressions. I strive to create photographs that will freeze time, allowing you to look back and relive your life's story.

Many of my favorite images are of thoughtful faces and soulful expressions. I am not afraid to take chances with my photography, using unique crops/angles and color (or lack thereof) to make artistic statements. Backgrounds and props should add something to the image, not detract from the subject. The same holds true for clothing.

Whether in the studio, or on location, I strive to create custom portraits--unique, but real. I want to capture the TRUE story.
