About Me

I am an experienced professional photographer. I specialize in wedding photography and people photography such as; models, portfolios and boudoir. My photography website is the main place where you can view my work. Just be sure to follow all the links on the website to see all of the galleries. Then go to the Google blog link and read the latest discussion and see more pics. Of course, I have lots of pics on MySpace too. If you think you have what it takes to be a model or want a portfolio, if are getting married or if you just love to pose for photographs, then contact me. Let us create art-together. I carried a camera to first grade because the teacher was so beautiful, she inspired me. I am still inspired. I love photography and Beauty is my complete motivation.
