For me the most important things are much smaller than expected. The vast beauty of nature is often paled in the face of the delicate balance of the tiny details of life.
Family portraits aren’t just important as a way to mark time and the growth of our families but as an experience in itself. When I create portraits for other families, I feel honored to be allowed into their lives for that brief period to help capture the memories of their lives together.
This is good advice no matter what business you are in. Thought I should share the link.
Have a great new year!

When he asked recently if I would help him with a headshot to use for job applications I jumped at the chance to help him out. I love getting in on the ground floor of greatness. A great portrait that can help separate him from the pack is something I can contribute to the beginning of his career.
For years now I have been volunteering at Blake High School. Blake is the home of an amazing Fine Arts Magnet program. I attended the Fine Arts Program at University of South Florida for my BFA work at the same time as the photography teacher at Blake was working on her MFA. When she started the program at Blake I offered to come in and help with areas I have particular strength – Studio, Lighting, Portraiture and also to add some real world experience to critiques.
I have to admit I learn a lot when I visit Blake. The students there are challenging and fun. Working with them helps keep the fires burning on my passion for photography. I also love knowing that I’m having a positive influence on the lives of up and coming artists.
These are some of the portraits we created as part of a recent lighting demo. Enjoy!
