FAQ's

My style is fresh, intimate and candid – in the photojournalist tradition. My approach is to capture the essence of a person at a specific moment in time. It is about preserving a memory so that one day you can look back at your photos with a smile and say “I remember”. This is why I became a photographer, it is my passion and what I love to do when my clients ask me to photograph their weddings, business, children and families.

My clients love the fact that I give them a customized product. This is not a formulaic department store experience.
From start to finish my goal is to provide you with excellent service and beautiful photos and high quality photos.
