About the Artist
ARTIST . MOTHER . VETERAN
I have been photographing people for over 20 years. As a staff photographer with The United States Army Band "Pershing's Own" I photographed musicians and high-level ceremonies and events in Washington, D.C. and throughout the nation.
My first priority is always my family and those I love. The business provides me with the freedom and flexibility to maintain a balanced life, nourish my relationships, have peace of mind, and concentrate on being creative.
For my clients, my goal is to not only provide great images, but an amazing personalized experience from start to finish. I will always aim to "Wow," exceed expectations, be timely, and make the whole process fun and worry free. I enjoy meeting new people and bring my love of the arts into my photos and designs.
I am thankful for the gift I have been given, the loved ones who continually support me in my passion, and the clients that entrust me in capturing their lives. I am forever grateful.
I am a Certified Professional Photographer
Anyone can take a good picture every now and then. But when life’s biggest moments are unfolding and there’s one chance to capture that perfect memory, don’t risk it. Entrust your photography needs to a Certified Professional Photographer.
Fewer than 3% of photographers nationwide have earned the designation of Certified Professional Photographer (CPP). What does this mean for you? Not only am I backed by Professional Photographers of America, but I also have the proven technical skills to consistently produce beautiful images.
Consistency
- CPPs know how to achieve great results every time.
- They deliver a strong collection of images that tell your story, not a few lucky snapshots.
- CPPs know how to produce a quality image under any circumstances.
Technical Skills
- CPPs are more than picture takers.
- They are students of art, lighting, posing, fashion, and even interior design.
- They combine these elements to create images that fit your unique style and become works of art you will treasure for generations.
Unique Artistry
- CPPs have the skills to create unique, customized works of art—not cookie-cutter pictures.
- They are guided by their artistic vision.
- It’s your story, and they can capture it as a collection of art.
Professionalism
- When you hire a CPP, you know you’re getting someone who is willing to go the extra mile to deliver the best possible images.
- They’re business owners who thrive on customer service and satisfaction, and they continuously aim to produce products that exceed your—and their—highest expectations.
