Photogaraphy is art. Inspiration comes from those we photograph. My vision is to maintain the relationship between art and photography. Emotions, memories, lifestyles and memories should be captured and cherished for all time. My goal is to create images that trancends the ordinary. I received my BFA in graphic design at the University of Illinois and worked as a graphic designer for many years, including owning my own graphic design business - Kaleidoscope Graphics - for about 12 years. My background as a graphic designer allows me to see things in a creative way, and I am always striving to create not only a photograph, but a piece of artwork as well. I love people, and I love taking pictures. As a photographer I feel privileged to be a part of so many important days. As your wedding photographer, I will listen to you and make sure that we are on the same page. Communication is paramount. I hope that by the time your wedding day is over and you have your pictures in hand, you will not only have great memories for a lifetime, but a new friend. Hey, I would love to be the one to take those first baby portraits as well!
