About Me

I am me...A complete contradiction, eclectic and free. I'm a million different people from one day to the next. Some call me strange or weird and with that I couldn't be happier. Free spirited is a term that fits more to me. I do what I love. I live it and breathe it in everyday and all day. This is my life, my only one, and because of that I live it. ................................................ Of all the titles I hold...Photographer is one. I'm a semi-professional photographer. Currently working my way to just a professional and one of the best. I love to photograph people and show my clients in a way that is familiar but never seen. Art is created from the collaboration of the subject and the artist and all I ask is that you let go and give yourself to the process. I possess what no other has and if you want it all you have to do is ask.
