Blending artistry, a bit of marketing with defined lighting ensures my clients stand out in a competitive marketplace because they deserve that. Each person and story has unique characteristics which are important to highlight. I create photographs in a relaxed manner so that my clients can be authentic and feel casual. In this, the humanity of the story can be woven into the visuals. Many of my entrepreneurial clients are professional juggling many responsibilities so I make the process fun reducing stress by managing the photography logistics, and loving what I do.
Since the age of nine I have been clicking away adapting to new cameras and tools, refining my creative process. The quest has remained the same, to capture the essential beauty in whatever my subject matter. When your life's work is the art you love to create, I believe you have found your bliss. I am grateful to share mine promoting connection.
