From Memphis, Tennessee, I am a self-taught, natural light, photographer who has been photographing my world for almost 30 years. I bought my first 35mm camera when I was 13 and have been in love with photography ever since. Light and easy, I am all about comfort and fun. I try to put those around me at ease while getting as many giggles and tickles as possible... When it comes to the final product, however, I am a perfectionist with my art. I am extremely sensitive to detail, color and form. For portraits, I make sure skin is luminous, teeth are white, and each photo is a stunning work of art, featuring YOU! I don't like posy-posy photos, but rather candid shots with the whole family having fun. I always keep in mind, though, that this is YOUR shoot, and I will try my best to give you the images that you would like to see on your walls and in your life.
