Quite obviously, I love to take pictures. From landscapes to wildlife, and product photography to still lifes, I love shooting all kinds of photos. But, my favorite photos are the ones I shoot of people. I love to shoot weddings, family portraits, high school senior pictures, engagement photos, event photography, maternity photography, photos of newborns, babies and children, glamour and model photography. I am located in the Central Florida area and am a big fan of natural and outdoor settings.

I used to be a graphic designer and art director. Before diving into the world of photography, I spent almost 20 years as a graphic designer and art director for several commercial print shops and clients. I have worked with print shops, advertising agencies, magazines, and private companies, in creating innovative and powerful marketing pieces. Skilled in print design, pre-press production, and web site design, along with proficiency in the latest graphic design, photographic, and typography software, I have done work for many types of companies, both large and small, non-profits, and individuals. For more information about my life as a graphic designer, please see my online resumé or my LinkedIn profile. I strive to bring my creative and art direction skills to each shoot that I do. Your session isn't going to be like any old boring studio shoot you have had done before...guaranteed!

I don't just shoot people, I also work on personal, "just for fun" projects for myself. On the personal side, I am currently working on two Photographic Art Studies. I am doing a series called Abandoned, featuring old and abandoned structures and items, and a series called Tracks, featuring various railroad tracks from across Florida. I also, from time to time, will do a creative artistic treatment to a portrait session, just for fun.

I enjoy supporting local causes, especially working with the homeless. I am passionate about supporting causes, especially local organizations and people, and have been a part of the Help Portrait planning team in Orlando, since it's inception. Stop by my blog and check out my posts about the 2009 and 2010 events. I look forward to December every year, when our main events roll around. If you like to be involved in helping others and want to be a part of Help Portrait Orlando, contact me. You don't have to be a photographer. There are plenty of other roles we need help with as well.

I love animals and support no-kill animal shelters and organizations. All of my animals have been rescues of some sort or another. If you are intersted in a photo session for your pet, I will donate 5% of the session fee back to your local no-kill animal shelter, or if you don't have one in your area, to ARK Animal Rescue & Education Center, which is a rescue organziation in my area, and where I got the most recent addition to my "fur baby" entourage, Harley Quinn.

I'm an avid blogger and tweeter. Be sure to visit my blog to find out about my latest photography projects. I am also a "tweeter," so if you are on Twitter follow me!
