About Me – The Expanded Version – Education / Experience: My extensive education and professional experience in art, design and architecture has allowed me to develop a keen eye for composition, light, color, line, shape, and other elements and principles of design.  My career in art and design has enabled me to take my photographic work to the next level – beyond a standard portrait or snapshot.  I create portraits that capture and bring out the beauty from within each subject, which can truly be described as fine art portraits.  Coupled with my years of diligent practice and participation in professional workshops and college photography courses through the college where I taught design, I have a solid technical background to add to my artistry.

About my education:  I hold a Masters of Science in Architecture  from the University of Cincinnati: College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning (DAAP); a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design; and an Associate of Arts in Fine Art / Studio Art.  I have also taken numerous photography workshops and extensive photographic training in posing, lighting, business marketing, and newborn photography safety training.  I also have a post-secondary Certificate of Digital Marketing from Parson’s School of Design – The New School in New York City.

My projects have received a number of design awards, and as an educator I’ve received awards for excellence in teaching design and architecture at the college level.  I bring the same level of quality and excellence to my photographic work.  It is my personal expectation to excel in everything I do, and to bring unparalleled customer service and a satisfying experience to each and every client.
