I first discovered my love for photography, nearly 10 years ago in my High School Yearbook class. I went on to pursue my interest in photography while attending Oregon State University, where I took several classes focusing on technique, lighting and textures. Beyond college I utilized my degree in business management to pursue a career in consumer banking, but maintained a small photography business on the side. Fortunately, I am in a position now to take my passion for photography to the next level and pursue it on a full time basis. I am truly excited and blessed to be given an opportunity to make a career out of something I absolutely love to do. There are three reasons why I know that I will be successful in this venture, in that I offer something that my competition does not. To begin with, I am one of a few photographers that releases the original negatives to my clients so that they can get reprints at their discretion and priced to fit their budgets, in the long run this saves my clients hundreds of dollars. In addition, I am very competitively priced and will commit to match or beat my competitor's for any reason my clients are not pleased with their pictures the first time around, I will retake them for no additional charge. These differences, combined with my passion for photography and my commitment to excellence will serve as a standard for quality that will surpass expectation.
