My friend, Ercan.  We first met at an event about 16 years ago. I was photographing and he was catering the food.  We both were just starting out in our careers and the thing that I admired most about Ercan (pronunciation: ERH-jaan) was his genuine kind nature. He is also such a giving person.  I […]

Giving Back… As a business owner for the past 30 years, you learn to do certain things in your business to succeed. At least, that’s how I roll.  A couple of these things: paying your creditors on time, keeping in good communication with your clients, and giving back to charity. Now, you can’t give to […]

  Motherhood When does it start, when does it end? Today’s photographs are of a good friend of ours, Crystal.  We have done many projects together over the years including the “B-Pink” breast cancer project.  Crystal has such an outstanding personality. You can’t help but to love her after just meeting her.  Crystal is also […]

Traditional Portraits Tradition : A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. What do this mean to you?  Do you partake in tradition? I think that all of us at some time or another practice tradition. It’s important […]

To Flash or Not to Flash… That is the question. Over the years of shooting outside I sometimes needed to rely on that UGLY flash.  Never really cared to use it because I didn’t know how to use it.  I often struggled with using flash.  Why?  Well, because it looks like crap!  My photographs looked […]

Women’s Photography 39 ish…     Everyone gets to go through those major decade milestones, even me…. At 20 I was starting my life.  30, I was celebrating my family. 40, I was celebrating my accomplishments.  And, at 50, I was thinking about minimizing, however that didn’t work. I was still buying crap.  We all have […]

A couple of years ago I had the opportunity and privilege to video tape my son Vince here in the studio.  Everyone always brags about their children; however, I must say that Vince is a super talented musician.  He left for LA a few years ago to “make it big” out there and being so […]

It makes a difference. It is a reflection of who you are in business; who you are as a person. It speaks for itself when you aren’t there to speak. Your head shot is important. Your head shot makes a difference. This is Charlene, she wanted to save money by going to the “other photographer” […]

Scott is such a cool, dynamic, and fun kid. He’s artistic, smart, witty, and a fantastic musician. To capture the many different facets of his personality, he spent the day at the studio in some different looks. Some show off his love of his violin, some his love of luxe. (Think Sherlock meets James Bond.) Then you […]

  Meet Alan Vinson. He is a professional haberdasher that has a keen eye for style, color combinations, and making sure each one of his clients is dressed in an original, classic, and well fitted outfit. It was great having Alan into the studio. His flare for fashion made the shoot so much fun! It […]
