Preserving the true essence of a wedding, family gathering or special event is such a privilege for me, an opportunity that I am always so honored to have. As a quiet observer, I love to capture all of the exquisite, romantic, funny and whimsical moments to create a final collection of images that tell 'your story' in the most genuine way. My style is low-stress, friendly, personal and unobtrusive (I've had brides come to me, nervously, wondering if "I'm getting enough pictures" because they hadn't been noticing me...which is always a compliment!) I keep my eyes peeled at all times and am very present from the minute I arrive to the end of the night. I strive to infuse your images with both elegance and emotion that will move you to laughter or tears for years to come and feel fresh each time they're viewed. Portrait sessions are a real passion for me; I love to photograph a family reunion, a beautiful mom-to-be, babies, pets (especially with their owners!), seniors and children of all ages. My promise is always to make the process relaxing, professional and fun from the first phone call to the delivery of the prints. I appreciate taking time to get to know my clients ahead of time and hearing their ideas; I am always open to suggestions. During the 20 years in my profession, I've heard all sorts of stories about people groaning because the photographer at this wedding or that family gathering took FOREVER and everyone felt so posed and antsy...I can assure you this would never be me. Well, as we all know, pictures say more than words so pour yourself a hot cup of tea or a nice glass of wine and enjoy the slideshows....
