I think my work stands out from others because of my fine art and academic photography background. I received my BFA from UCLA and also graduated from The Brooks Institute of Photography. My work is candid and artistic, photo-journalism with a slightly fine art twist and also my enthusiasm for getting, not just a good shot, but the best shot shows through in my work. I have an adventurous spirit, always thinking ahead and asking myself "What if?" I have worked along side some of the most famous wedding photographers in the world, Parker Pfitser, Jerry Ghionis and Cliff Mautner to name a few and have taken so many exciting and creative ideas and techniques home form those sessions. I believe my portfolios speak for themselves in this regard. I'm also very easy going, fun, patient and love what I do so very much! Every single image I take is personally and professionally edit by me, taking them miles farther than a lot of other professional photographers do. I love the ability to express my art in wedding day stories and portraits, from contemporary to pictorial and I also enjoy the people I work with. Children are great, whether they are having a "bad day" or a great day, there is always a "photo" there! Nervous brides? Not a problem, I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and have all sorts of tricks and relaxation techniques I use to keep everyone relaxed, happy and enjoying their special day.
