Welcome to my blog, viewers.

This blog was created to display my work as an artist and a photographer.
From the moment I first looked through the viewfinder, I've fallen more and more in love with the beauty you can create in touching the shutter and freezing that moment forever. I love photographing people, special moments, and once-in-a-lifetime events that will never replay themselves out of your mind again. Life is special and wonderful & I find there is no better way to contain it and make it last than through photographs.

Comments are always welcome and appreciated!!

Thank you for visiting me today!

The Hopkins 04.17.10



























The Hopkins Family: What a fun, beautiful family! I had so much fun with these three. Maternity and family shoots are always so great because of how great the meaning is of the photos. These memories last for the parents, the children, the grandparents, and all the other relatives. Kids are usually the most fun to photograph and are most often the highlight of the entire photosession. This little boy was an adventure...his mood went up and down...lol. Finally after a great deal of bribing, he loosened up and gave some incredible smiles!! And I don't think I could ever find such a cooperative and prepared mother!!
Thanks so much for a great time,
an awesome experience,
and a wonderful addition to my portfolio,
Hopkins family!


Roza & Ariela 04.12.10































This was a pretty crazy day...When it started raining this morning, I asked Roza if she is still up for going- she said, "Ya, for sure!!" (to summarize it all up)
So off we went, in the pouring rain. To our advantage, it started up and stopped again periodically.
These two girls are best friends and that was obvious in the shoot. They were having fun and laughing the whole time. It was a pleasure photographing my friends that day...especially since Ariela was a model and Roza is just naturally flawless and gorgeous!!

Fun, long, rainy day it was!
