CREDENTIALS
I am an experienced, creative, adaptable, and professionally trained digital photographer, writer, and designer. I have over 20 years experience in portrait, event, wedding, family, macro, and sports photography. I am well versed in the use of Nikon, Canon, and Sony camera systems and have excellent multitasking skills for a variety of environments and situations. I also have proven and effective verbal, listening, writing, and interpersonal communication skills; and am very adept at working independently, as part of a team, and any combination of the two.
Personally, I get joy at seeing the light come on in a person's eye, their face lighting up, and their overall demeanor changing for the better as--and when--they realize that they are NOT alone in their fight & struggle and there is still hope. I Love seeing--and just knowing--that one day and one moment when a person gets re-motivated and begins to change their life and / or help someone else to help themselves.
