"Please dad, let me take the picture".
When I went on vacations with my family, I was very much interested
in taking photographs while traveling across the country. I never
once considered being a photographer professionally until I began
getting requests from people to cover events for them. Apparently
my photographs were becoming in demand. In 1984 I covered my
first wedding for a co-worker. I was hooked. Soon the word spread
and I was on my way to becoming a self-sustaining professional
photographer. Doctor's hospital needed to have someone to document
the medical history of burn patients and with my Bachelors of
Biology and my photography interests, it was the job for me.
I worked shooting family/wedding events while covering the burn
unit. Soon I was overwhelmed doing both and left the burn unit
to concentrate solely on my own photography business. For over
20 years, I have worked hard and yet I have enjoyed every single
minute of being able to capture the memories in a unique and
exciting way for my customers. The most common comment I receive
about my pricing is that people are surprised that I don't charge
more.
