My grandparents had a Polaroid Instamatic camera when I was a kid. I was amazed that I could press a button and have a photo printed in just a few moments - it was magical. This began my passion for photography and the visual image. Eventually, I learned how to process and print photos from 35mm film. I was excited when the digital photography revolution happened because it brought back that instant satisfaction of taking a photo and being able to see it moments later. Through the years, I've had many different cameras and lenses, but to this day, I still have that old Polaroid camera.

I am a professional photographer with over 20 years of experience. I earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in Media Studies with a concentration in filmmaking from the University of New York at Buffalo. Some of my past and present clients include: the Buffalo Sabres, Ford Motor Co., Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, Willis Johnson & Associates, Straus Systems, Minns Law Firm, Ula's Mexican Restaurant, Olshan Foundation Repair, and Insperity.

I enjoy meeting clients and working with them to get the visual images that they want for their given photographic project. Whether it's a food item for a menu, an actor's headshot, or anything in between, I love the look on a client's face that says: "Yes, that's it! That's the perfect shot. That's just what I wanted."

BLACK BOX photography - where magic happens!
