On Portraiture-

My philosophy on portraiture was most succinctly expressed by Paul Caponigro: "It's one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are."

It's not about 'filters', liquefying, healing brushes, any of that. Sure, those things have their place, but they aren't what makes a portrait beautiful. A beautiful portrait should capture the true essence of a person; it should show the person as you see them.

On Weddings-

I look at weddings and the events surrounding them as an excellent opportunity to create images that tell a story, a story of one of the happiest days of your life. If you choose to have me present on your special day, I will use all of my skills and abilities to create remarkable images that you and your family will cherish and appreciate for a lifetime.

I always do my level best to create beautiful images; whether it is to create photographs of you and your family, or to capture the wonderful memories and precious moments of your wedding. And of course, to make it a fun and memorable experience!

I look forward to telling your story.
