I am a journalistic, fashion-based photographer. My aim is to present a story through the use of candid photographs as well as fashion magazine style posed images. I have been involved with photography for as long as I can remember. I learned most of what I know from my mother.  Growing up we had a fully functioning dark-room/ laundry room in the house. It was no surprise that my first job was working at a photo lab. I stepped away from photography for a bit and focused on other forms of artistic expression. I believe wedding and portrait photography has made significant, artistic leaps from the days of old. I believe the traditional styles of photography are dull and all but extinct. The evolution has become provocative and adventurous. I feel a renewed stimulation in capturing the glamour and a passionate desire to expose the breathtaking art hidden in everyone.
