How It All Started

It was 2010 when Michael and I first met! We married in 2011 and we wanted to have hobbies that we could do together. He was a hobbyist photographer so I thought photography would be a good couple’s hobby. I signed us up for a personal enrichment class in photography! Michael owned a Nikon D80 and we shared it for the first couple of classes. I was hooked. I loved learning about photography! It was obvious, after a couple of classes, that I liked portraiture and became obsessed with it! I wanted to learn as much as I could! Michael likes landscape and so do I but portraiture is my favorite. By this time, we needed a second camera so we got Michael a new D7100. I kept the D80 and used it for quite some time. It was old but I was determined to do the best I could with it. Our instructor always gave me a hard time asking when I was going to upgrade and he constantly referred to it as a D-Ancient!! I eventually did upgrade to a D7100. We kept taking classes, but I wanted more so I enrolled in the New York Institute of Photography in the Professional Photographer’s Course. It was amazing and I learned to take full control of my camera. I haven’t looked back!! I graduated in 2017!!!

I want to create images for my clients that they will love today and for the rest of their lives, images that they will always look at and remember when, images that their children and family will cherish as well! I also know that most of us want images of our parents, siblings, children and spouse to remember them by when they are no longer with us.

The thing that I love about photography is that I have to slow down and really look at people, take some time with them and then I get to appreciate their outer beauty while I’m photographing them. But it also makes me appreciate their inner beauty! Everyone in front of my camera is incredibly beautiful or handsome!!
