As a wife and mother myself, I know what it feels like and have been in your shoes. I know the thoughts that go through your head. I know your concerns. Whether it was gymnastics classes for my daughter or golf lessons for my son, I know the feeling that comes with searching around for the best.

Your search for the best photographer is no different. Maybe you even asked around to see who photographed your friends and neighbors. You've probably flipped through my portfolio a time or two, and now you have one question. What's this going to cost?

I realize much like buying new furniture or other major investments, the price tag can be a determining factor when choosing a photographer. Like many others, it's what has brought you to this page on my website. No matter how much I wish this wasn't the case, my experience has shown me that most people will ask about cost than any other question.

I believe in the power of the printed portrait. I can't communicate in words the overwhelming feeling of joy you will feel seeing your images up on the big screen for the first time or how you will try to hide that tear of happiness rolling down your face. I can’t express the joy you will feel to display these treasured memories in your home. There's no way to express the feeling of closeness you'll have with your kids as you flip through the photos, albums and memory book walking down memory lane in years to come.

There’s no way to tell you about that big hug of gratitude you will give me when you receive your new custom-made professionally designed and created album because you know that this will be a part of your family legacy for generations. How do I effectively communicate that to you? Well, that’s the hard part, and to be honest, it can’t be done on a brochure, hand-out, or website.
