STORY TELLING through CREATIVE PORTRAITS

The question I'm often asked is how am I different than every other photographer. My quick answer is that I'm a story teller through images. I feel it's easier to tell a story through video, but capturing the story through stills is an art. 

Here are some examples of my work:

CHRISTMAS STORY ADVENT through PORTRAITS

Wellspring Anglican Church commissioned me to create a different kind of Advent season this year. Instead of the traditional wreath and candles of hope, joy, peace, and love, we chose the characters in the Bible that represented the Christmas story. Not only did it represent the Christmas story but it embodied everyday people of Wellspring Anglican Church. So the Christmas story this year was celebrated from within the body of the Church, and each week we lit a candle under each Portrait. <<Advent Story>>

SPORTS TRADING CARDS:

My son and I began collecting Football cards this past year. We were so impressed with the Topps Fire Cards designed by Tyson Beck. So with the inspiration from Beck, I decided to create our own for my kids teams. We have received an overwhelming response.
