Venice. It is one of the most enchanting places in the world. There is an old-world charm to this city that endears you to it like no other destination you’ve traveled to. I spent only 1.5 days in Venice, but took hundreds of photos there. When I came back and started my sorting and editing, [...]
The greatest skill of a talented photographer is not how accurate he or she can be with exposure; it’s not being spot on with all of the tech details, or putting out thousands of images a week.

I am very happy to feature them in this post. Shooting family portraits is always a varied experience based on the number of people [...]

These “Fusion Films” have a powerful affect on potential clients, and are an invaluable keepsake for your brides and grooms. But what if you do not have [...]
This last winter I had the great experience of going to Europe exclusively to visit and photograph the old Cathedrals and churches there. This trip was full of both adventure and serenity, and every day I had the opportunity to learn more about myself and my craft. Photographing these old churches presents a very unique [...]
I have a confession. Yes. I love taking photos. Yes. I am a professional photographer. But no. I do not carry my camera around with me all the time. Nor do I want to. This is why I am absolutely in. love. with Instagram. Available for Droid or iPhone, Instagram allows you to manipulate the [...]
