Let me start by telling you that I am not a Photographer. I am a creator….an artist….a collaborator. My goal is not to tell you how to pose, or where to look, or to SMILE! Rather, my goal is to work with you to produce wonderfully touching and moving portraits that you can’t get with rigid techniques and rules. I want my pictures to show your child laughing, your love blossoming, your family playing. I want my pictures to speak to you. I began this wonderful adventure immediately after my son was born. He sparked a creativity in me that had always been there, yet had not been touched in many years. I have always been the artistic type, first through writing and now through pictures. The common thread that ties these together is that I love to tell stories. Time is precious. And so are you, and your children, and your family. They will only be this age once. Everyone feels too fat, or too skinny, or too “yucky”. We all have bad hair days and never enough time to get the things we need done. Come see us anyway. Set aside a couple of hours to capture this time in your life. Because your child will never be this age again, your love will never be this new again, your life will never be exactly this way again.
