“A portrait is not made in a camera but on either side of it.”
- Edward Steichen
Making a person feel so comfortable with you that they let their guard down....that is my ultimate goal when taking portraits. Then the real essence of that person comes through and what you capture is a bit of them. Their true spirit in all its glory.
“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.”
- Paul Caponigro
Senior year represent a time of change, excitement. The end of one chapter and the beginning of another. This journey should be captured for all time. Senior Portraits are a perfect way of marking this special time in your teens life.
"You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. And you can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life"
-Joan Miro
Sports are tough, no matter what you play. Hard work, practice, determination, motivation and grit are a part of all athletes. These are the qualities that make athletes unique and I strive to capture these traits in my portraits.
"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still"
-Dorothea Lang
School play, school concert, championship game. Your child worked very hard to reach this point. Someone should be there to capture their shining moments. These events hold a special place in our memories. Why not hold them in our hands too?
“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.”

Celebrations of Life: Birthdays ~ Anniversaries ~ Retirement
All celebrations, all deserving to have those special moments captured for all time. My goal: to photograph the cake and presants and to also capture what happens when no one is looking.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
— Aaron Siskind
Milestone Moments: Baptism ~ Communion ~ Wedding Vow Renewal ~ Bar Mitzvah ~ Bat Mitzvah ~ Homecoming ~ Graduation ~ Prom ~
These special moments deserve special attention. Capturing the love and joy during these moments is my main goal. Sharing in the celebration and witnessing these memorable milestones is a true blessing.
“When you photograph people in color you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white you photograph their souls.”
— Ted Grant
Black and White photographs have a special place in the world. When all the color is removed, all the distractions, what is left is the essence of the soul. The eyes always speak when the color is gone - the light in them is captured from within.
