I see the world as a big exciting place where amazing feats (like raising your toddler above your head) and heartfelt moments (like sneaking a kiss when you think no one is looking) happen every day. Capturing these candid moments in a photo-journalistic style of photography is what I enjoy doing.

This lifestyle-portrait principle includes photographing you:

• where you feel comfortable (not in a cold studio with spotlights)
• with you interacting with your family members or co-workers or clients.

Using professional digital equipment, I will come to the location of your choice, and take as many photos as there is time. Depending on your specific needs, the pictures I might take of your business would include the storefront, employees hard at work, individualistic style details of your business, and more distinctive photos of the owners or managers. For a family I might take every combination of members, plus children playing together, parents' embrace, and interactions while everyone runs on the beach or has a picnic.

Without traditional poses, your family bond or the interaction of your employees with customers comes across more clearly. However, for your Granny we can always accommodate a more formal structure.

You might be surprised at how many new views I can provide of those most familiar to you: your family, home, community, or work.

I typically spend 3 hours editing for every one spent actually taking photos to provide you with the best depiction of your family, friends, or co-workers. I hand color-balance and remove minor blemishes from each photo to help ensure the quality of your prints.

Within two weeks of your session, I will post all the proofs to an online slideshow for viewing by your family, friends, or guests. This will be active for no less than three months from the date of your session.

You may contact me any time to order prints and specialty items like the ever-favorite photo book. I keep all images backed up in multiple locations indefinitely, should you need more prints in the future or choose to use the images in promotional material for your business.

I look forward to seeing how your family or business sees the world.
