Thank you for visiting my website.

 

My love for photography began with a darkroom course in high school and has continued to be one of my favourite hobby . Living my dream of becoming a photographer started taking shape after purchasing my own point & shoot camera in 1986.

 

I spent a lot of time photographing just about anything I thought was interesting, rolls of films and money I couldn't afford at the time for processing, then compare what I had produced to what my studies and researched told me what I should be seeing.  Year 1993 in came my first SLR camera.  The feedback I got from my new camera made the concepts so much more clearer.  I photographed family and friends and was told time and time again that I had an "eye" for photography.

 

My photography is based on more than just a style.  The style is part of it, but the way I conduct the photo sessions, the experience I give my clients, the unique session packages I provide and the pricing model I use is very, very important.

 

I try to use as much natural light as possible.  You will not hear me say "cheese" when photographing children.  I like to shoot more of "candid" moments, I will talk to them and ask them questions.   As for props, I like them fine.  However, I don't carry too many of them.  I personally believe that props tend to take away the focus on the main subject, which is the person being photographed.  By all means, I welcome everyone to bring as many props as they would like to use during photo shoot.

 

I spend a lot of time studying other images created by other photographers in a quest to further develop my skills.

 

When I am not photographing, I can often be spotted chasing after my children frequently with a camera in hand.
