My greatest joy is capturing an amazing portrait. I believe we all carry a “spark” of creation and a perfect portrait captures a bit of that spark and shares it. I do all kinds of portraits including graduation, family, individuals and couples. I still do an occasional wedding – and especially enjoy smaller more intimate gatherings.
