I have always been a photographer. It’s in my soul.

 

In 1988 I started my business here in Richmond, Virginia and 20 years later it is more successful than I ever could have imagined.

 

My passion is photographing children and their families.  I have always been known for my black and white art. To me, it is the most satisfying art form, combining visual form and elegance with the emotional appeal and beauty of my clients' children.  My home is decorated with fine portraiture of my three children and I can’t think of a better decorative focal home than art combining beauty and love.

 

This year I am excited to have so many new products to share with you.  Please click on the Products area of the web site to see the fun samples.

 

Fine Photography is a great investment in love and memories and is always an exciting conversation piece for your home.  I am so excited to share the journey of creation with you.

 

 

 

 

P.S. Here are my professional milestones:

 

Bachelor of Arts, University of Virginia, 1986 

 

Master of Photography, 2001

            I am one of only 2 female and 7 Masters total in the Greater Richmond Area.

One becomes a Master Photographer through the Professional Photographers of America by demonstrating excellence in photography by earning the highest awards in national competitions and by giving back to the profession by teaching the craft to other professional photographers nation wide.
