Biography

Yes the beard is a real beard! lol

I found my passion in photography in the early 1980's when my dad took me out to the beach to watch the sunrise over the ocean in Fort Lauderdale with his Pentax Spotmatic 35mm camera that he took with him to Vietnam in 1968.

I started my professional career as a photographer in 1995 and in 1999 I received my B.F.A. in Media Communications  Having gone to school for photography I have also been taught to pursue my passion of photography and having an eye for perfection by my family, friends and most of all my father who is the one who inspired me to become a photographer, even though he isn't a photographer himself. I met my wife as I was photographing an event in 2009 and we were married in 2012.

I joined the Wedding Alliance of North Georgia in 2009, and I joined Atlanta Wedding Professionals, Wedding & Portrait Photographers International of Georgia. I have been a Certified Photo Consultant and hold a certification with the Society of Photo-finishers in Engineering with Photo Marketing Association International since 2002.

I have had the honor, pleasure, passion to be able to photograph many different events over the past few decades and just to name a few included weddings, bar & bat mitzvahs, newborns & maternity, picture day from Pre K - 12th grade, sport action photography, marching band competition and group photography, high school & college commencements, concerts, product photography and corporate events. I have also traveled from East Coast to West Coast, as far north as North Dakota and as far south as Laredo Texas by the US and Mexico Border and lets not forget Florida too lol.
