This is the world As I see it through my lens...


I didn’t just decide to become a photographer. It kind of chose me. I have had a camera of one type or another in my hands since I was a pre-teen and I feel lost without one being at my disposal. I have had no formal training, though I would LOVE to go to school one day and really learn all of the ins and outs of photography.

    I love to photograph anything. Whether it catches the eye immediately or not. I love to capture fun times and intimate moments. My favorites though have to be the spontaneous shots that catch people off guard and at their most real. I have a pretty long attention span. I can wait forever to get that perfect picture. My clients on the other hand don’t always have the time, patience or attention span to do the same. I try to take as many high-quality shots in a moderate time period, but I am willing to wait for that excellent shot. I have lost some of the most amazing shots in the past because I was not patient enough, and because of that, I am still holding my camera and waiting long after the shoot is officially over. Sometimes the best shots can happen after we are wrapped up and ready to head off.

        I am willing to take pictures of just about anything or anyone. My dream job is to be a photographer for live concerts. I was blessed enough to be the official photographer for Emily Rose who was opening up for Amos Lee at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Royal Oak, Michigan. It was there that I got a taste of what concert photography was really like and I was hooked. The adrenaline was amazing, the shots were colorful and full of the most amazing angles that I had ever shot before.

  I am a photographer! I love what I do, I am happy capturing people at their best or at their most real. I love telling a story that doesn’t need a single word to tell it. I love creating art as I know it and showing it to the world. I love helping people capture moments that they want to make live on forever, even after their generations are long past.

  I have no definitive "style". I am still learning what works well and what doesn't. I like to go with the flow and do what feels right. If you have suggestions, I will gladly take them.

  I have no access to a studio at this time, if you require studio work, you will have to book studio time or look elsewhere. I'm sorry.

ALSO: I am not interested in doing nude work at this time.

  I am based in the Downriver Area and for now, that is where I shoot. Contact me for information on doing a free photo shoot. (TFCD) I do NOT supply free prints (A print pricing list is available upon request), but the shoot itself is free and I will give you a CD of the photos or email them to you. Whatever is easiest for you. I do, however, require you to sign a release form so I can use your photos for my portfolio.

Contact me here or at my email address  [email protected]

In Addition: Though I will do shoots with minors, I require 3 things. I need to meet your parent(s) or guardian(s), I HAVE to have a signed permission slip from said parent(s) or guardian(s) BEFORE the shoot, and a parent or guardian must be present during shoot. If that is a problem, then an ADULT of their choice can be substituted, but substitution must be in writing on the permission slip. I do this for your safety and mine.
