Where do I draw my inspiration?

I've taken weeklong workshops in woodcarving with Pietro Vinotti and portrait painting with renouned artist, Paul Leveille. 

I have met photographers, Bruce Dale, Joe Bussink, and Yervant, as well as, numerous locals who work day-to-day in the field.

a course in photojournalism at Michigan State University. I have a BA
in Public Policy and have studied every subject from Astronomy to

hands with Jack Kevorkian. (yikes on that last one LOL)

technology.

I've traveled as far away as Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and had close encounters with polar bears in Churchill Manitoba.

I have traveled to Maine, New York, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and everywhere in between.

Where do I draw my inspiration?

Mostly from YOU!!

I get inspired by watching you laugh at your engagement shoot and cry at your wedding.

I get inspired by helping you learn to pose as a model or by teaching you how to use a camera as a photographer.

I get inspired by the light as it glides over your face how it looks when it makes the twinkle in your eyes.

I love to capture your moments and I am mindful of the need to deliver a quality product that you will cherish for generations.
