Bio

My interest in photography came about through my love of art. I had always dreamed of being an artist, like my dad, but as the years went by, finding the time to grow my skills as an accomplished artist never seemed to happen. In 1985, when I began my career in the advertising world, I took the opportunity to work with staff photographers, and together we were able to create advertising campaigns using models for a sleek magazine look. I was hooked, I loved advertising photography. I invested in my own equipment, enrolled in several college photography courses and soon I was doing my own advertising shoots.

One of the staff photographers also had a wedding photography business, and hired me as his assistant. In time, I started my own company called Crystal Images, and shot not only weddings but also corporate events, family portraits, and model portfolios.

While enjoying my work, I was missing the creative excitement that photography had brought me when I first entered the field, so after several years, I decided to go back to my artistic roots, and shoot for creative expression. I’ve had the opportunity to travel and have enjoyed building my portfolio based on places I’ve visited as well as places closer to my heart. Many of my images can and have been used corporately, and then there are ones that are just fun to look at.

I’ve always said being an artist of any kind is part skill, part creativity, and part imagination, I hope you will see all of these qualities in my images!
