“We are absolutely blown away with your work”
“Thank you for capturing such a special and surreal moment that will forever be a part of our lives with your pictures to remind us of the many details!” ~ Dani and Gentry
The prize was a brownie camera. My dad then helped me build a darkroom and my career as a photographer began!
Through the years I have studied all aspects of photography with many excellent teachers. I have spent a good part of those years concentrating on fine art photography (much of it as seen through the lens of the plastic camera called a Diana F) and have exhibited extensively in galleries throughout New England and in Puerto Rico.
For the last ten years or so my concentration has shifted and I have discovered the creative wonderfulness of shooting weddings and events. I feel I have a real knack for getting people to relax and enjoy the experience of being photographed. I like the challenge of bringing out the natural emotions in people as I unobtrusively and creatively cover an event.
I am always happy to customize a package that works best for you. Please feel free to call. Direct communication can go a long way in guiding the process and making sure that you receive the photo memories that you are hoping for!
As important to me as photography, is being involved in the creation of a more compassionate and sustainable future for all who inhabit this planet. With that in mind, several years ago I founded the organization Juntos www.juntosvieques.org which seeks to promote the humane treatment of all animals by strengthening the human-animal bond through educational awareness, outreach and direct community participation.
We have succeeded in bringing a humane education program into the school system of Vieques. And I am proud to say that it is making a tremendous difference on this beautiful island that I have called home for 24 years. We are helping to raise a generation of empathetic, solutionary thinkers!

You captured the moment perfectly!!!! There are so many good shots so we are going to have some trouble picking the ones we want to include in our announcement and invitations! We’ll also have to get a thick photo album and frame some of them too! ~ Antoine and Octavio
She was very responsive and flexible. She was also very reliable. We were doing a paparazzi style shoot of my proposal and she was right on time and where she said she would be. She got the perfect shot of me down on one knee in the moment. No reenactment required! My fiancee and I […]
I have received the CD and the pictures are awesome!!! Love your ability to take posed pictures but with a candid touch to them. They are wonderful.
We absolutely love the pictures. Could not have asked for a better photographer or a better person than you to capture every moment of that day even the details that we missed. You are an amazing photographer with a beautiful soul and we thank you so much for our work. love, Michelle & James
