About

My passion for photography began as a child. I do not recall at what age but it seems as though I always had a camera at hand.  My first camera used 110 film.  From those early years forward, I have enjoyed capturing candid moments.  When I turned 15, my parents gave me a Vivitar 35mm SLR.  It had one lens and a flash (which I still have).  I was so excited. In the 11th grade I attended an after school program on photography at a local vocational school.  After high school, I sold my Vivitar to my dad and purchased a Nikon 2000n.  Once in College, I took a year of Black & White photography.  It taught me a great deal about composition and seeing the pictures.  The photography classes soon became too expensive so I moved forward with my second passion: computers.

I have never stopped taking pictures.  I got a lot of use out of that Nikon 2000 before going digital in 2001.  Taking pictures in digital  took on a whole new level for me.  The number images I captured grew.  Not having to worry about 24 or 36 exposures was just awesome.  I found myself taking pictures at different events and giving the host slideshows and movies, as well as images, of each event.  In 2007, a friend asked me to video his parents 50th anniversary.  I loved it.  Capturing moments that can be viewed and remembered for years to come, eliciting those same wonderful emotions.

My passion is capturing moments in photography and video: Weddings, Anniversaries, Engagements, Maternity, Newborn, Families, and Seniors.  As I hold that camera, I see memories just waiting to be captured.  Rest in the knowledge that you will have reflections of those memories for a life time.
