Why buy an image to hang on your walls when you could become the custom and one of a kind art you look at everyday? This is exactly the intention behind my conceptual fine art sessions. These sessions are slow and intentional. You come into my studio with concept ideas and together we turn your […]

As someone who loves to take nude photographs of women, one would think that I would market myself a boudoir photographer. Labeling my work boudoir would certainly make it easier as the term “boudoir” itself is so popular. It just makes sense, doesn’t it? But I can’t bring myself to call my work boudoir. It […]

I am a hard core bibliophile. My perfect day would be spent in the nook of an old and extensive library reveling in the old book smell and the promise of new knowledge. It isn’t just the reading of books that I love, but sitting in their presence. There is a palpable energy when you […]
