It is art

Photography is pure art. It is not only about capturing a moment that represents a time in our lives but also a purposeful creative expression of style. There are many photographers with many different styles. The art of digital photography has opened a world of capabilities beyond our dreams...

To me the post processing is just as (if not more) important than having the right settings at the right moment & snapping that button at the right time with the right frame { lots of rights that could go wrong}. I spend hours perfecting the look... bringing great to perfect. I spend hours taking courses & watching tutorials to learn. to create. to perfect. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as "knowing enough." 

This is why we hire the professionals, right? For all that expertise and time committed to perfecting our memories?

In my free time I love to photograph everything from sunset, the moon, random home objects (even selfies) and my beautiful children. Surprisingly they still love to model for me (bribery is a complimentary service). This is how I try out new techniques in camera and through editing to enhance my skills and continue working to offering the very best.

Here is a little progression to see where my art takes me --- behind-the-editing.
