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 Kirichenko Family 06.02.10

































When Zhanna called me up for this shoot, she asked me about pricing and scheduling and such, & she told me that she wanted a small photo session...just a couple of pictures of Jacob, who had just turned ONE, and some with their new family. When we met up and went to this park (which I understand was kind of like "their" park...you know...the one you always go to), the time went by so fast that we ended up doing an almost full on photoshoot. It was amazing to work with such cooperative and fun people. Even Jacob was able to give us a couple of the very wanted smiles...and as I said before, he's 1.
This couple was very easy going and the happiness in their family was so obvious. It was such a pleasure!!
Thanks, Zhanna & Dima...and Jacob. :)
