I am a professional photographer and have been in the business for 11 years. I have extensive knowledge of creating photographs using environmental lighting, studio lighting as well as on-location lighting. My background is in photojournalism as I was the only photographer for a community newspaper for two years. After the position ceased to exist, I transitioned into studio photographer where I specialize in both studio and on-location portraiture, with weddings and sports candid photos in the mix as well. There are very few lighting environments I haven't encountered before, and none I can't shoot in. I have plenty of experience using photoshop, portrait pro and lightroom for editing photos. I am also a people person, and can handle subjects or others who can be pushy, bossy or down right rude, and do it with a smile on my face!
