About My Story
I have been a frustrated artist all my life looking for an outlet that will satisfy my artistic needs and still feel good in my life space. Because of my internal wanderlust, I have lived in and traveled most of the world but had little time to recreate the memories that I wish that I had because of my work with Pepsi or working with my own wine importing business. I lived outside of the United States for 14 years. While I was able to become fluent in Spanish and have done some landscape photography, I never fully satisfied my creative outlets because I never gave it the time. I missed something important for families as they grow and change, the documented artistic life memories.
I want something different for you and your family.
Today, with a young family of teenagers and the desire to share some of my world visions with others, I use photography to not only create the new but to share what exists at that moment. I want to use what I have learned and lived to help you create lasting artistic memories that your family will have forever. You know a great photo when you see one because you do not just see a great photo with your eyes, you feel it because it touches you.....
I want to help you and your family make great photos!!!
Lifestyle Photography
“Lifestyle”
The term "Lifestyle" is a term that is quite often used by people to describe our photography work.
However, what is important is how those of you who view it feel when you see it not the word itself. Does it present a visual representation of a life style?
However, as humans we like to label things and use descriptors, so "Lifestyle" it is.
What is “Lifestyle” photography?
Lifestyle photography sits comfortably between traditional portraiture, which is posed and controlled, and documentary photography which isn't posed or controlled at all.
Lifestyle photography is a more emotional, expressive and personal approach to photography, really allowing you to create your own rules and express yourself creatively.
Lifestyle photography typically captures the essence of the humans you are photographing, capturing a little piece of humanity, emotion and expression. It often includes the subjects touching, movements, emotions, loving gestures, and often environmental storytelling. While I will sometimes capture your family looking at the camera, many of our photos will not have you or your family looking directly at the camera but instead being involved in the moment with each other.
Lifestyle photography means that you are going beyond posed, stiff and unemotional portraiture to capture the true essence of the personality behind the humans you are capturing in the moment and in the setting.
