My love for photography evolved into my small business 16 years ago for one simple reason. I believe in creating professional quality images and delivering them for a cost that is family and small business friendly. I have stayed true to my business philosophy since the beginning.
My style is dramatic, timeless, and classic. I love bold, rich colors, but not overly artificially enhanced imagery. I want you to look at your images 30 years from now and believe in the lasting power of the image. I don't want you to look at it and be distracted by whatever the latest editing fad was at the time. Beauty to me is timeless, the less distraction from the soul of the image the better. I have always joked that I would probably shoot all candid, black and white if I could.
Not to give away my age, but I began learning photography when I was in high school and it was still film. I spent hours in the darkroom and truly loved developing my own film, using the enlargers to create my own prints, and watching my images come to life as I agitated them in their final bath under the red lights.
I have always been interested in the technical aspects of photography and creating the most timeless, beautiful images. The first 20 years of my photography experience was working with 100% natural light. Over the past 8 years, my style and education has expanded into studio and supplemental light in my images as well. I feel that photography like every art medium should be an ever evolving process for the artist. I am always learning and consistently push myself into new exciting areas. Supplemental light has opened a whole new world for me and only enhanced the quality of my work. It is the ability to modify and control the light in any situation.
