HI! Thanks for coming to check out my new viewing gallery. I am so excited to share my portfolio with you!

I love taking pictures! I find it amazing that as a photographer, I get to be apart of the special moments in life and capture them to be cherished forever. Photography has always been a passion of mine that started when I got my first SLR camera as a gift, the Pentax SF10. I wanted to take pictures of everything, and probably did! I thought of photography as a fun hobby, taking pictures of my friends and family at gatherings or simply catching them off gaurd in candid shots. It wasn't until several years ago, when I got into digital photography that I thought seriously about taking my passion for photography and turning it into a fun and exciting profession.

I have never been taught how to be a photographer. All that I have learned thus far has come from getting out there and practice, practice, practice. I have however recently became a student of New York Institute of Photography where I am learning about all the new tricks and techniques that will definately enhance my photography skills. I do trust my "picture eyes" and am never afraid to get a little messy if that is what it takes to get the best shot!

So thank you again for visiting my website. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
