Blah, blah, blogging with SwankPhotoStudio bio picture

Who I am . . . .

At heart, I am a kid.
At play, I am an artist.
At work, I'm giving a 100% of who I am to my art.
At home, I am a Mom and a wife and an accountant
and a nurse and a chauffeur and a cleaning lady
and a landscaper and an interior decorator and a chef.
I'm not perfect at it, but I work very hard at it everyday.

What you should know about me . . . . .
I'm entirely laid back and fun.
I like making people laugh.
I love a challenge.
My artistic eye and penchant for relating to people, I recognize and
embrace as my gift.
Being a photographer doesn't define who I am, but it certainly has
shaped the person I've become.
I'm a better person because of my photography and my clients;
my muses!

Am I wise? . . . . .
I've come so far and gained so much as a person by experiencing the
good alongside the bad.
I believe that in every obstacle or sticky situation in life, there is
an opportunity for growth in some way.
That a day not thinking about the future is a day neglected.

I am unique. I am close to my heart.
Bottomline, this is me!

Tyler Tot

Wednesday, January 7, 2009 Posted in Babes, Families

My former bride and groom, Crystal and Scott, are totally adorable, so it was no surprise to me that their son Tyler was totally adorable.  We literally did this one year photo session on the anniversary of his birthday. He’s the happiest baby. This babe only fussed once and it was when they took him...

Doogan comes out to Play

Sunday, November 23, 2008 Posted in Blah, blah, blogging with SwankPhotoStudio, Families

Nothing more challenging to me than working with our animals. Take them to the great outdoors and they’re eager to play, explore, and not have their picture taken. I dig the spirit of our four-legged friends.  Doogan had his own agenda the day my assistant Kristen asked me to do a Fall portrait session for...

Bad to the Bone

Saturday, September 27, 2008 Posted in Families

  I have a great set of neighbors; Cathy and Steve. The type of people that are always there for you and giving of themselves without hesitation. Cathy acts and stands in as Mom’s helper quite often as I’m ducking out the door during a weekday to go on a shoot, run an errand, or...
