About Me:

  Image by Miriam Garcia

Picture



I started out as being self taught but then took several photography classes at Lansing Community College including studio lighting.  I am a firm believer that you never stop learning.  I prefer outdoor sessions using natural light and off camera flash to bring my images to the next level of artistry.  I do have an indoor studio in my home that I am able to use during the cold months.  I love Jesus, have three teenage daughters and love photographing any cool skyline I can find.  We live in Grand Ledge, Michigan and love the small town feeling while still being close to downtown Lansing.  I volunteer at our local animal shelter where I can use my talent to photograph dogs and cats that are available for adoption.  We have two very spoiled dogs named Charlie and Gracie.
