Introduction: There are picture-takers, and there are studious photographers who have an thorough understanding of the developmental life cycle all humans experience and strive to create and preserve these various stages in the most remarkable way! I am such a photographer and my connection to my subjects and my photography culminate in an artistic expression that distinctly sets my work apart from commonplace picture-taking. Personally, I have photographed many thousands of portraits, decisive moments with photojournalism, photographed a myriad of events and people from corporate groups to individuals, families, children and births.
I most enjoy that I have frozen time for all time. Photography is my passion; a calling that stems from obtaining the highest level of appreciation for the extraordinary lives of people--all ages. My work represents a study of each individual's uniqueness, personality and character, where I not only want to capture a likeness they will treasure but will tell a story through the photographic process. I treasure the idea that through my careful and devoted planning, time, skill and talent, my images will continue to bring pleasure long after I am gone.
