I have been passionate about photography since I devoped my first print in high school. The ability to capture a moment by painting with light is what I do. After years of photography as just a hobby, and getting burned out at my day job I decided it was time to follow my heart and do what I love.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Knowing how to paint with light. Having the right equipment for the job and how to use that equipment to capture the image that is wanted. A little creativity is needed to set the phot apart from a phone photo or the thousand of other images you find on social media.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What's the end photo you want? Is it for social media or print?
What do you love most about your job?
Freedom to create. To capture a moment in time that would otherwise be lost.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had a 20+ year career in Engineering. That involved a lot of travel on others timeline that kept me away from my family. I loved my job but I wanted the time to be mine so I could choose my work time and family time.

I have the training, the knowledge and the equipment to get the job done.....a beautiful photograph.
