Mission Statement:
A huge passion of mine is creating high quality portraits and product shots for families, weddings, individuals and advertisements by editing these shots in post. I retouch things like skin, hair and clothes to get the cleanest looking image that I can get out of the raw files after sharpening them.

I've mostly done portraits, but I also like doing still life and nature photography.
