Choosing a photographer is a very personal thing. You not only must be confident in the photographer's technical skill, follow-through, and trustworthiness, but you also must mesh with their vision, style, and personality. Feeling confident and comfortable with your photographer is essential to great portraits.

One of my earliest experiences with art was as a young child, hanging out in my grandparent's downtown Los Angeles art studio/apartment, surrounded by canvas and pallets, the pungent smell of oils and turpentine. I first became interested in photography in high school while working as an assistant at a local studio. But, it wasn't until my children were grown that I took the time to go to school and study photography formally.

I hope that my unique combination of technical skill, artistic eye, experience, and family sensitivities will be a good fit for your needs.
