Why I do what I do ...

"The truth is ... the laugh that explodes from your mouth or the tears of happiness that stream down your face.  These are the feelings that make our life so incredibly special.

We will get along great if you're planning a marriage more beautiful than a wedding. Portrait photography is the one choice in all of your family memories that endures. This is your life's legacy, make no compromises with your memories.  I want to focus on capturing moments that take our breath away and make us smile uncontrollably.
