About
When I am asked this question, I am reminded of what a late colleague and great friend once said. "It's not about catching fish, it's about going fishing." No truer words spoken, as in my case. I have taken days and gone fishing, with my camera. That is I have gotten on street cars, buses, gone to parks, "touristy" areas, neighborhoods, swamps, etcetera, and snapped away the day usually yielding six or seven excellent shots. Although I haven't actually entered them in any competitions, they hang on my walls.
I have always been such a hard judge on myself, that I have a hard time convincing me that any one picture is good enough to compete. But isn't that what makes an excellent photographer? The constant drive for perfection?
I also create virtual tours for my real estate clients, and the end product has had them completely taken aback by how awesome they come out. Not to mention the exterior shots that I include with the tours. It not only takes a great eye to shoot excellent photos, but also a creative heart to know that they are special photos.
I enjoy capturing that one moment in time at an event, or a party, or a dance and freezing it as it happens. Then, everytime the client looks at it, their heart fills with the same happiness they were feeling at that moment.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I'd like to meet with the client face to face to make sure we know what is going to happen, and have a contingency plan, just in case.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have no formal education or training in my craft. I have been taking pictures since I was eleven, and some by trial-and-error. Others I was fortunate enough to be at the perfect spot at the perfect time. I just see things and have the natural ability to form a comprehensive, appealing photo.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started in this business?
One day, I decided that my present career has been great for me, but not something I wish to be doing in ten, fifteen or more years. In 2020, after the pandemic started, I was talking to a good friend who is a real estate agent and she had said that is was tough getting to show people houses with all the precautions in place. That's when I started my business doing virtual tours for agents. Prospective buyers could still tour the homes for sale, and never leave their current homes.
