“You are incredibly talented”
“We received the disc today and are absolutely THRILLED with the photos!! Cannot thank you enough, you are incredibly talented.” ~Lisa and Matt
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!
