I am a people and live event photographer working with my clients to create great photographs that deliver the look and message they want to communicate
I've been in love with photography ever since elementary school when I picked up my dad's Kodak Retina IIa camera. I find great joy in the process of creating and capturing memorable moments and drawing viewers into my photographs through storytelling. So, after a career in high tech sales and marketing, I decided to pursue my passion for photography, utilizing all that I've learned about working with people, establishing relationships and trust, and telling stories that leave an impression. I work with my clients to create great photographs that deliver the look and message they want to communicate.
First impressions are important. As the subject of a portrait, a person's expression, body language, and "look" are all factors that affect how people react to an image. I work with each client to find authentic looks and gestures that will resonate with viewers and convey the appropriate message and emotion for that client's intended use of the photo. For example, headshots for a client whose company has a social or environmental focus will look very different from those for a client whose company sells military gear, and both will likely be driven by a different overall aesthetic than headshots for an aspiring artist.
