I'm just a southern guy who ended up in the northern portion of the United States. I love my wife, kids and life. I am a blessed guy with the love and support I receive from my wife and sons. I have yet to go somewhere I didn't like. Well, I might not like a few things about a few places, but overall, I liked them all.
*My Style*
I have always loved capturing and creating images. I began hand drawing in either kindergarten or first grade. A few crude, homemade comic books came out of this venture. Before I left elementary school I was taking pictures and lining them up just right in my photo albums. One way or another, I was going to convey the story I created or the one I captured to my finished work. Ambitious? Yes, but the basis for where I am today.
I still dable with drawing. However, my passion is photography.
*Capturing Memories*
I received my first personal point and shoot camera in middle school where I photographed all my friends and family through my college years. These images were my captured memories of which I didn't want to forget... albums of documented events... my life in action. This was the basis for my desire to capture memories as emotions in time.
*Going Professional*
When I stepped up to an SLR camera, the limitations I had with my point and shoot cameras dissolved. I would shoot almost everything and for almost anyone (carry-over from my early years). I soon started shooting for hire to cover the expenses of both my camera and computer gear. At once, I wanted to be a photo journalist. However, with the start of my family, I have put that route on the back burner.
I shoot entirely digital with a totally digital work-flow. This allows me the ability to work from almost anywhere at almost any time.
*Focus*
My main subjects have always been my family, who create the perfect situations and the most challenges. It is that love of capturing these precious moments, which I offer to my customers.
