Including but not limited to portraits (child, family), products, weddings, corporate parties, and large scale events - youth sports, dance competitions, proms. I have used Photoshop and Lightroom throughout my career of over thirty years and consider my skills with each to be at an expert level.

    In addition, I truly enjoy teaching others how to improve their photographs and expand creativity by using the many products within the Adobe Creative Cloud.

    This image was a shot of my extended family. This is four generations in this one shot. The only thing I don?t like about this is the fact that it seems to take losing a family member to get everyone together. That?s what took to make this shot possible. Every time I look at this image. I feel like I have captured the emotion of family love and happiness despite the loss of one of us.
