Taking pictures allows me to be creative. Whether it is the angle I use, how I edit the picture, or just capturing a candid moment, I enjoy getting to call the shots. Some of the shots I call are crap, but making mistakes is just part of life, right?

I like the idea of capturing moments as they are… people as they are. I like to see personalities and not just fake smiles. Sometimes we all have to fake smile, though, just to get the job done. Sometimes that is the picture we need. I get it. I also get it that no one wants to have yellow teeth in a picture just for the sake of “capturing someone as they really are.” I’m gonna Photoshop that. But, in general, my favorite pictures are the ones where I catch people smiling at each other, laughing, or just giving a loving look.

That said, it isn’t all about me… I’ll pretty much do whatever you want…except maternity pictures where the woman appears naked, except for a strategically placed drape of flowy fabric… Please do not ask me to do that. I cannot let you do that to yourself and your baby.

I joke, but I’m very go with the flow. To sum it all up, I like to party.
