Katie and Ramie







When I met these two, I liked them INSTANTLY! We had a little competition going on for their date, but they booked 1st and I am SO glad. The reason is, after spending last Sunday afternoon with them, I confirmed what I already knew...THEY ARE AWESOME! So, the session was Superbowl Sunday, Ramie is a TOTAL trooper. There are some images I cannot post....because I don't want to ruin the surprise for their "Save-The-Dates", but as soon as they give me the green light, you better believe they will be on my BLOG!

Woo-hoo! I got my certification.....

I am a Certified Professional Photographer from the Professional Photographers of America (PPA)! I had to pass a rigorous test, had to submit my past photography work to a panel of judges for review, and must renew my credentials every 5 five years through continuing education in order to commit to this prestigious certification. Lots of work, but I’m willing to do it. Let me tell you why...

To receive this certification asserts to the general public that I am a Certified Professional Photographer, in other words, a quality professional. Receiving this certification puts me in the 8% of professional photographers (which is less that 1,725 in the world) that have this certification. It’s like quality assurance because certification is a credential consumers and businesses understand.

More importantly, it conveys to my clients WHY they should choose my services over my competitors. Since I had to enter my past work for a panel of judges to review, I have to thank my clients. If not for the wonderful pictures you have allowed me to take of you, your family, and all your special moments, I would NOT have been able to gain this certification.

I can't say this enough, but each and every one of you are special people in my life and Thank You is an under statement of my gratitude. If not for you all letting me into your lives, I could not do my job!

To show my appreciation, I am offering a complementary 8x10 on your next session if anyone comments. Thank you again!!!

It's 2011 and we're off and running...

Wow, it's a new year and I've already booked most of my weddings for the year! Not to worry though...I’m still looking to book 8 more weddings for this year - so come in and book your wedding before it's too late!

I'm so excited to have new brides and grooms! It's an exciting time for them, and I get to share in that, it's truly special!

I do want to thank all my brides and grooms from 2010, they never cease to amaze me. The caliber of the men and women I get to work with just surpass my expectations all the time. I loved working with all brides and grooms. They were all creative and unique - just fantastic models, which equaled fantastic pictures. From the bottom of my heart - Congratulations to all of you! Here are just a few of my brides and grooms....
