HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?
Growing up I watched my mother take thousands of photographs of dead trees and old door knobs. In 1995 I started shooting with her old 35mm Canon taking black and white photos and processing them in the darkroom and in 1997 I photographed my first wedding. Then in 2006 I started shooting digital. Now here I am seventeen years later and still loving it.

WERE CAN I PRINT MY PHOTOGRAPHS?
Each photograph is masterfully printed and approved by me so you are guaranteed the highest quality print. Only archival pigment is used to process my prints so your photos are guaranteed for 100 years. (Unlike kiosks and Inkjets that won't last). Let me know if you would like me to print your photos. You can also have your photographs printed anywhere you like since they are not watermarked.
