I’m an artistic photographer based in Maryland. I’m also an avid videographer, a talk-your-ears-off extrovert, and a never-sit-still type of person who always has my bags packed and ready for the next photo adventure. I like to translate a little bit of this great energy into everything I create. I enjoy working with people. The best part of being an artist is being able to capture the personality and spirit of each individual. Every person is unique. I strive to create real, authentic portraits and moments. Whether it’s producing beautiful images or capturing an event close to your heart, take me along on your journey! I get excited about what you’re excited about. If it’s your love story, let’s shoot it. If it’s a couples adventure let’s shoot it. Photography began for me when I was 35 years old, and OH! How I wish I had picked up the camera sooner! I don’t want to just snap pictures, I want to feel them. And so that is what I do with each and every soul in front of my camera. I try to capture the human spirit.
I am directional. On your portrait session you will never have to guess what to do. I will direct, pose and prompt you into candid moments. This leaves you confident and it will show in your images. The best time of day for your portrait session is early morning or late evening. I can get great portraits during anytime of the day, however sunrise and sunset provide a softer light.
