About Me

If you are interested in a photo shoot, send me a message. I only am doing certain kinds of shoots at the moment as I am taking a break from shooting at concert venues for the year. If I am unable to do your shoot, I will definitely refer you to someone who can. In the meantime, I am finishing up school at Wayne State and eagerly awaiting for the baby to arrive this summer!
